GOBBLE GOBBLE: THANKSGIVING DINNER FILLED WITH FAT

ATLANTA (Wireless Flash) -- The turkey isn't the only thing on your Thanksgiving table that will end up stuffed. According to the Calorie Control Council, the average American will pack away 4500 calories and 229 grams of fat today. Only 3000 calories will come from dinner itself -- the other 1500 will come from gobbling pre-turkey dinner treats like chip, dip and soda. Even grosser, the Calorie Control Council estimates that by the time Thanksgiving is over, the average person has slurped down the same amount of fat contained in three sticks of butter.
