From burritos the size of babies to planet-sized pizzas, our listmakers have scoured the internet sniffing out the biggest plates possible. Enjoy this list of pics that will make you full just by looking at them, and be sure to upvote all of the photos that make you say, “God bless America!” (Or at least, God bless America’s arteries…)

What do you think ?

For non-Americans: these portions are not normal. We do not eat anywhere near this size on a regular basis. I'm guessing the vast majority of those pictures were food challenges; very seldom does anyone take on one of these challenges. Our portion sizes are large, but not this large.
LH25 3 years ago
Not only were many food challenges (which are kind of disgusting but that's another topic) but many were intended to be shared among several people. I've lived in the US all my life and have never seen portions like these IRL. Yes, we do have large portions and an issue with obesity, but this is just over the top.

I'm sorry but this isn't funny. It's unhealthy and most likely a waste of food.
Maltaros 3 years ago
Except that very few of these, as noted several times, are for one person. And usually for a treat, not standard everyday dining.

If you think this is in any way normal, you're quite naíve. You'll mostly find ridiculous stuff like this in tourist traps. And if I hear "absolute unit" one more time, I'm going to go postal.
