There's the kind of food pr0n that Stolpman and others embrace, with beautiful shots of carefully crafted dishes. I like to call that "culinary erotica." Then there's the food photography equivalent of Hustler's "Beaver Hunt," with a little bit of snuff film added, for good measure.

If you want to check out how the other half dives into a life filled with heart problems, gout and Type 2 diabetes, visit "This Is Why You're Fat." This website highlights some of the most extreme foodstuffs ever to come out of a kitchen, like the pictured hot dog on a stick, encased in French fries.

My LDL levels are increasing just looking at it.

Thanks to Lauren for the tip.
