Fat Girl Snacks

The title is not meant to insult or offend large women. In fact, one of my larger female friends coined the term "fat girl snack." I certainly don’t mean to make fun of overweight girls. I know several and would never intentionally hurt them. But let’s keep it real... fat on the body doesn't simply appear. Sometimes it's brought about by a physical condition, but more often it's the result of poor dietary choices -- too many fat girl snacks.

A fat girl snack can be virtually anything edible. However, certain criteria must be met in order to earn Fat Girl Snack status. Certain foods, without question, are Fat Girl Snacks. Everything produced by Hostess, Drake, TastyKake or the evil Little Debbie make the grade. Nearly every week my oven pops out a cake, usually a pound cake, sometimes red velvet, sometimes both. They are definitely Fat Girl Snacks. Candies, cookies, or anything that comes packaged in a bag, marked Wise, Lays, Utz, or Herrs... Fat Girl Snack! There are also items considered fat girl snacks, simply based on the time or intention of consumption. A stack of pancakes at 7:45 in the morning is a meal. A stack of pancakes at 3:45 in the morning is a Fat Girl Snack. In fact... most foods eaten in the wee, small hours of the morning are indeed Fat Girl Snacks.
