I saw a commercial on TV last night advertising Taco Bell's new Chicken Enchilada Grilled Stuft Burrito.
Isn't an Enchilada Burrito kind of like a Ford Corvette? And can we speed up the efficiency of ordering crappy fast food from shiftless youths at the window by limiting the word count in menu items to two or three?
[added later] And, THEN, I go to their website to check on the spelling of "Stuft" and what do I see but their new marketing initiative which will certainly contribute to the Obesing of America: fourthmeal.com. Evidently there is a meal between dinner and breakfast. I'm glad that Taco Bell so freely guides our culture in the right direction. If I thought their motivation was to get Americans eating more meals and less food in a day, I might support it. But I think their motivation is to feed us all to the point of immobility so that we can't leave the food court. Then our whole day can be just one constant meal.

Everyone in America should view the excellent documentary "Super Size Me."

Oddly enough, I would much rather stuff myself at Taco Hell than McDonalds. [Cheeseburger & small fries = 540 calories vs. 3 Chicken soft shell tacos = 570.]
