It's funny how our society associates events with some weird nutritional traditions.
Take the Superbowl, for example. The Superbowl represents the pinnacle of athletic achievement - the world's most highly-trained athletes facing off for four hours of brutal competition with the whole world watching. Reaching this game has taken each participant years of training, practice, and self-denial.
So how do we honour these modern-day gladiators that populate our televisions for one Sunday early in February?
We get drunk and gorge on fatty foods, of course.
