Day zero

So yesterday I took the kids and myself to the dentist. Afterward, we went to Burger King for a quick lunch before I dropped them off at school. We never, ever go to Burger King.

In the drive-through I noticed that they have a special with 2 double cheeseburgers for $2.22, and I thought to myself, damn, those are some cheap calories! And I started thinking about how, if I was really, really poor, I could probably survive on cheeseburgers. Then I wondered how, exactly, I would feel if I ate only cheeseburgers. Would my hair fall out? Would my mental facilities diminish? Would my skin become sallow? Would I get rickets?

Naturally, the only sane thing to do is to find out.
