I completely agree with you, and feel that way about all special occasions.

I'm one of those people who thinks it is VERY important to eat whatever I want. And I always do.

But part of my job is to remind people that some of the foods we think might be bad are actually okay. Or better yet, remind them to make foods they already love but forgot about!

I think the Superbowl is one of those few occasions in the entire year when it’s ok not to be uber healthy. As long as you don’t eat until your stomach explodes don’t obsess and have fun.

@Scott

Agreed! Basically anything "cheese flavored" is my definition of pure evil. Yarg.

Was that Super Bowl? Indeed, not the greatest of days.

My least cherished superbowl memory is from 1998, going to a superbowl party in Walnut Creek at the house of my friend’s girlfriend’s friend’s house where they let a long-haired white cat walk around shedding on everything with complete impunity.

Towards the second half I realized that my shortness of breath had more to do with anaphylactic shock than excitement. My friend and I went out to buy sudafed but it didn’t help. I was relieved when the Titan came a yard short of sending the game to OT, because it meant we were allowed to leave.

Good times…

Cheez-its. Those are my least favorite party food that I think people just put out there without really thinking about it. Those little orange fishies aren’t any better. Ugh.

Thanks for reminding us of the bacon blanket. That's a great symbol of what we are fighting against!!

I never thought that so many people who came here for health knowledge would also actually care about the super bowl. go figure. Anyways, there is a new contender in my book for best Super Bowl food- the Cheese Filled Bacon Blanket!!!

@all

Party foods can be really, really bad and you guys nailed a bunch of them (though I may move little Caesar’s out of the good list and into the bad).

I think my most hated party food might be any kind of cheese dip. That stuff does not resemble anything I associate with real cheese. EEEwwww.

This is a great list! I’m going to try a few of these during the big game for sure. We’ll have to see how the guys like them. I’ll keep you posted.
