Product Description
Eat healthy and live to be 100?.

Screw that.

Why choke down bland, mushy steamed veggies and brown rice when there s so much fat-laden, calorie-rich, heart-bursting cuisine out there to be savored? Because you want to live? So you can spend your golden years wandering aimlessly around a Florida shopping mall and eating dinner at 2 in the afternoon? So your rotten, ungrateful kids can plop you into some hellhole of a nursing home the minute you forget what day it is?

So go ahead, triple your cholesterol and triglyceride counts and clog those arteries . You ll never get out of this world alive, so you might as well enjoy your life while you can. Here are 30 artery-clogging, colon-blistering recipes sure to satisfy the most insatiable cholesterol craving. Instead of, steamed tofu, try Lard-Oozing Caja-China-Roasted Hog or Pizzeria-style Baked Ziti with Sausage and Mozzarella!. Follow up with a decadent dessert of Deep-Fried Twinkies or Ice Cream Lasagne. You ll die quicker but with a smile on your face.

Eat What You Want and Die Like a Man will put you back in touch with your Inner Hog.

I received this book two days after having had abdominal surgery. I opened it up and began to read the chapter "grease burgers". Within two minutes I was laughing so hard I nearly blew my guts out...had to put the book down before I was carted off to the nearest emergency room....hilarious and better than front row at the Comedy Club. Can't wait to pick it back up when the healing is finished!!!

This is NOT a cookbook ... I repeat .. this is NOT a cookbook September 6, 2008

"Eat what you want" is a funny book. It is meant to make you laugh ... constantly ... like every page ..

Yes, there ARE recipes included, some of which make some tasty, though (as advertised) unhealthy grub. This is food for pre-Allen Alda men, who are neither sensitive nor politically correct. This is prose for the same men.

The author is living proof of what happens in a society where rednecks are afforded the same educational opportunities as their more well-heeled Republican brethren.

Steve Graham (had he practiced his banjo) could easily have become one of those "Deliverance" hillbillies forcing tourists to squeal like pigs, but instead he set out to study (and get degrees in) both Physics and Law.

Now, my experience with both Physicists and Lawyers leads me to believe that both professions attract "left-brain" analytical types with a deficit in creativity. My theory is that this author may, in fact, have been born left-handed, but along the way, learned unsavory habits which made use of the RIGHT hand, resulting in a mixed-hand-dominance which allowed him to both score high on SATs and LSATs, but also write entertaining stuff.

With a thread of coronary-unfriendly concoctions as a premise to tie together his random and cynical thoughts on the human condition, this book shows an articulate ID unencumbered by the slightest bit of concern for the author's reputation (he had none to speak of)or future in politics (forget that!!)

Whether writing in his own voice, or mimicking that of Hunter S. Thompson or Christopher Walken, Graham panders to the lowest common denominator of "real men" who are tired of Splenda, Salad "spritzers", and accommodating the spouses' vegan friends.

In the guise of a cookbook, this literary work skewers the politically-correct world of "Food Nazis" and appeals to the primal instinct of men who unless otherwise instructed, see no problem with bacon grease as a dessert topping.

Even if you are eating Jenny Craig out of a box, this should make you laugh... at him or with him ... I don't think he cares as long as you pay retail for the book.

Phony Reviews? September 3, 2008

Are these real reviews? The reviews sounded so similar in style (to the author's in the excerpts available here) that I checked to see what other reviews they've written. Mostly these reviewers have only reviewed this author's books. (And to great acclaim!) Are these reviews sales pitches from the author?

I've been following Steve's website for a while now, and he's really built up a good set of writing chops.

He's also grilled, broiled, and fried a few chops along the way. If you buy this book and read all the way to Chapter 13 (it helps to read the book before you make the recipes, or you may die of a massive coronary before you can finish), you will discover a stuffed pork chop recipe so good as to cause hallucinations about 3 bites in.

He's also put up a website for continuing work on the theme. Plug "manly grub" into your search engine and go see what the fuss is about.

Now if you'll excuse me, I picked up some Bonta pizza sauce from GFS and some sliced provolone and block mozzarella from Costco today, and they're not going to assemble themselves, you know.
