I'm Feeling A Little Dicky

No, no, no...it's not what you think.
Dicky = British for Sick. See Britishionary.

Imagine eating a stick of butter every day. No, not butter slathered on a nice croissant or muffin, but just plain butter. Well, that's pretty much what the lady did on today's episode of "You Are What You Eat" on BBC America. It seriously made me want to gag - I love butter, but I can't imagine eating a stick a day. Her monthly lard intake amounted to 14 pounds of butter. No wonder the woman on the show weighed 20 stone (1 stone = 14 pounds). Yikes!! I did learn a few things from this episode, though:
a. You can get smelly, moldy feet from eating too much white bread.
b. You can get a yeast infection from eating too much white bread.
c. There is such a thing as too much butter (or even bread for that matter).
d. Who the f*ck eats half a pound of butter a day? (Apparently at least 1 person.)
Um, buttered toast, anyone?

You Are What You Eat airs weekdays on BBC America at 4 and 4:30 pm.
