The main meal of the day absolutely was definitely not the most nutritous pairing on the planet, but it was all in celebration of July Fourth. This is a decidedly non-standard meal, the exception not the rule. Sometimes you have to allow your inner 'murica to come out and enjoy some good old fattening foods. That is, as long as it is followed the next day with some healthy eating.
