"I love butter. But 'science' claims that the body is not designed to consume only butter. Well, man has been known to overcome every obstacle in his existence. We've been on the moon, and proved the Earth is flat, and Albert Einstein brought a guy named Frank back from the grave! So I'll tell you what, real science is not taking no for an answer. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... (holds up a stick of butter on a popsicle stick) ButterSmear! It's the combined taste of all the essential food groups: Burgers, bacon, sausages, fries, bacon, burritos, curries, bacon, bacon, bacon—all in one healthy yet delicious yellow spread. I've eaten ButterSmear every meal for eleven days now and I feel no ill side effects at all. In fact, I've lost feeling in my entire body. Pledge today to help me push mankind one step further. (eats it) Mmm... ButterSmear, makes everything taste a little bit butter. (faceplants onto the keyboard) If you're watching this video, please call an ambulance."

"Is this one of your menus? 'Sausage and waffle and fried chicken breakfast lasagna'? 'Bacon-wrapped chitlin-stuffed catfish'? Granddad, you can't serve this kind of food to people. It'll cause... death."
Huey Freeman, The Boondocks ("The Itis")

Speedy Gonzales: Man, you gotta be serious about your nutrition! You gotta think of your body as a machine! Nutrition is the fuel! What's a typical day of food for you?
Daffy Duck: Well, I start with a sensible breakfast.
Speedy: What?
Daffy: A bunch of powdered sugar on a hot dog.
Speedy: That's not sensible, that is insensible. What about lunch?
Daffy: Usually turkey sandwich on wheat.
Speedy: Okay, that's pretty good!
Daffy: I just deep-fry that sucker and dump a bunch of powdered sugar on top.
Speedy: I'm scared to ask what you eat for dinner.
Daffy: I like a big dinner. Helps me sleep. I'll take a casserole dish, or something big and deep. Pour about two inches of powdered sugar in there, a rack of babyback ribs, a layer of marshmallows, more powdered sugar 'til it's about yea high, throw that dude in the microwave for about 45 minutes, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve!
Speedy: ... that's what you eat for dinner.
Daffy: Well, I supplement throughout the day with these protein bars.
"We take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef and soak it in rich creamery butter. Then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger."
