How much does a pound cost? Let's say I'm 50 lbs overweight. How much did all that fat cost me?

Ahhhh, the cost of overeating!!!

Depends on whether the extra weight was caused by potatoes or caviar.

For the sake of argument, let's assume it was caused by Taco Bell. I can eat about 1200 calories for about $7. 3500 calories in a pound...carry the 1....

$20.41
