The 30,000 calorie last meal


Gary Carl Simmons, (photo below) (but he kind of looks like the guy in the photo above) anyway, he is the murderer who dismembered his victim, and wow, did he have a last meal to die for.


This guy ate two pizzas, five lbs of cheese, super sized french fries, nachos, cherry Cokes, milkshakes, strawberry ice cream and even more stuff.

Always thinking of others, his last words included: 'Now, let’s get it on so these people can go home'

His last serving was the lethal injection at the Mississippi State Penitentiary and was pronounced dead at 6.16pm.

He asked for one Pizza Hut medium Super Supreme Deep Dish pizza, double portion, with mushrooms, onions, jalapeno peppers, and pepperoni; pizza, regular portion, with three cheeses, olives, bell pepper, tomato, garlic and Italian sausage; 10 8-oz. packs of Parmesan cheese; 10 8-oz. packs of ranch dressing; one family size back of Doritos nacho cheese flavor; 8 oz. jalapeno nacho cheese; 4 oz. sliced jalapenos; 2 large strawberry shakes; two 20-oz. cherry Cokes; one super-size order of McDonald's fries with extra ketchup and mayonnaise; and two pints of strawberry ice cream. 
By our calculations, his last meal was almost 30,000 calories.

Ninety minutes before his execution, the Department of food and beverage, oops, we mean the department of corrections reported he had eaten about half his meal, and was still eating.

On behalf of all those who worry about obesity and death row inmates, here are the numbers:

So, we have to ask, is life on death row is too comfortable?

Texas Senator John Whitmire has put an end to death row inmates receiving their choice of a last meal in the state of Texas. 

Senator Whitmire said, “It is extremely inappropriate to give a person sentenced to death such a privilege.” He cancelled the last meal privilege, saying that death row inmates set to be executed receive the same meal as the rest of the inmates.

That's what we were thinking...
