24 Reasons Being Jewish And Staying Slim Is Impossible

    Bubbuleh, don't you like the rogelach?

    1. First off, there's Palwin. We start drinking that stuff pretty young.

    2. And as soon as we're on solids, we get started on Bamba.

    3. And don't even get me started on how much Jews love cheesecake.

    4. Of course, the best thing about cheesecake is that you have to try them all.

    5. We also have a "my dinner lasted longer than your dinner" competition.

    6. We're also pretty big on wine.

    7. And we're deeply committed to honeycake.

    8. Honestly, we even manage to make apples calorific.

    9. And we have no shame about serving five different kinds of fish in one meal.

    10. We also love sufganiyot, round doughnuts.

    11. And latkes.

    12. But nothing can beat the best bread ever: challah.

    13. Obviously we love chicken soup. But we've worked out a way to make it carby.

    14. And we love combining roast chicken with salt beef.

    15. And even though we can't serve meat and dairy together, we have ice cream for dessert.

    16. We even eat right after synagogue on Saturday.

    17. And no Kiddush is complete without lots of rogelach.

    18. Also imperative: mini bagel platters.

    19. Also: cholent.

    20. Even more importantly: shwarma.

    21. Sometimes we attempt to be healthy. For those moments, there's Ten Acre.

    22. From there it's all downhill, via Pizaza pesto fries.

    23. Or even worse/better: a salted beef sandwich.

    24. And no matter how stuffed you are, you finish off everything with a Bendicks' mint.

    See? Staying slim is pretty hard for us Jews.
