I don't know if you have seen it or heard about it, but today for some reason seems like I am to find out way more about KFC's Double Down than I ever thought possible.

What I am not going to win is this battle I have created where I do not consume a KFC Double Down.

I now it is going to be greasy and fatty and not good for me. I know that. Granted there is the grilled version that will be much less fatty and greasy, but where is the fun in trying to resist the healthier version of a Double Down. Besides, My stomach doesn't work that way.

No, if given the choice, My tummy will always choose the less healthy version of what ever food is being offered. That is where my great intellect and savvy brain power steps in and says "Hang on a minute - Let me analyze this."

My stomach is a tricky beast though, and very sneaky, either that or my brain is asleep from hunger sometimes, uhm, many times.

So I am presently on page 5 of this guys review of the Double Down. I was going to blog about this guy writing 3 pages on this "sandwich". That was 2 pages ago. Granted there are lots of pictures, and he does have a creative writing style, but 5 pages on a KFC product? Maybe he is getting reimbursed for this lengthy article. I don't know.

Having gotten to the final page and realizing this guy is just plain old going overboard with his writing, I can tell by the Pictures that maybe this battle won;t be so hard to win after all. His pictures do tell quite the story.

What in Gods name will they think of Next?

I really hope you don't suffer from Gout. I have had to deal with this ailment for most of my life, at least the last 30 years. One thing I decided was that I wasn't going to take medication for this disorder and was going to control the problem with my diet.
I managed to work at a hospital for a while and came across some very informative literature on the foods that trigger the problem of Gout. I thought I might pass this list along in cases any one out there suffers from this painful condition.

Foods to avoid - these are high in purine content:

• Liver
• Sardines
• Scallops
• Mackerel
• Tongue
• Beer
• Wine
• Basically, all alcoholic Beverages
• Beef Consume
• Goose
• Wild Game
• Soups with peas or mushrooms
• Soups with Lentils or meat broth
• Yeast (both bakers and brewers)
• Bullion
• Gravy
  
  

Ok, now you also want to avoid fat, especially when you are having problems. Fat apparent keeps your body from getting rid of the Uric acid, which is what is causing the arthritic pain in your joints. That and drink lots of water. That will help you get rid of the acid.
I have other info on this condition, but I will make that another post.
