When your job is to parade around in your underwear in front of thousands of people, you gotta look good. That's why Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr recently slimmed down for a lingerie show. But she admits that trimming down is never easy, especially because she has a fondness for high calorie fried foods -- or at least one such food in particular. "My favourite snack is fried chicken," says the gorgeous Kerr, adding "I make it myself!"

Wait, she snacks on fried chicken and looks that good? When I eat it, I'm relegated to my fat pants for at least a week. How fair is that?

And guess what? She's not the only one, as Female First reports. 50 Cent, Rihanna, Michael Jackson and Jennifer Lopez have all admitted to having a fondness for the Colonel's recipe by indulging in a little KFC.

Are you a picky eater? I would say no because I'm always willing to try new dishes, but I try to avoid cauliflower, onions and mayonaise whenever I can -- they're the quirky foods that I dislike, and I think everyone has one or two of these. But I know some really picky people -- one of my friends will only order chicken fingers and fries at a restaurant.

Anthropologist Jane Kauer took an extensive look at picky eaters these days, and based on her findings, one third of people are unusually picky, few are extremely, and the rest of the population is only mildly picky. But there are a few things that almost every person likes. Want to know what they are?

• Fried chicken
• French fries
• Chocolate chip cookies
• Kraft Macaroni and Cheese

So, to sum up, the only really widely accepted foods are junk foods. It's unfortunate that no veggies or fruits made the list. I for one avoid the above items almost all the time -- what about you?

Ever wonder what the worst foods out there are? If so, you're in luck -- eDiets has compiled a list of foods that they advise you to never eat. What made the list? Doughnuts, for being high in fat and sugar and low in nutrients; Cheeseburgers and fries, for being high in saturated (and possibly trans) fats, cholesterol and refined carbs; Fried chicken for also being high in saturated and trans fats; Oscar Meyer Lunchables, for containing processed meats and cheese that are high in saturated fat, not to mention refined carbs, sugary treats and massive amounts of sodium; Sugary cereals, for being low in nutrients, high in processed carbs and extremely high in sugar; processed meats for containing the least appetizing parts of the animal (blech) and being high in carcinogens (yikes!); and finally canned soup (really?!) for being often containing trans fats and being extremely high in sodium.

What do you think of this list? Are they really the worst foods for you?

I'll admit it; I used to love McDonald's. I don't eat there anymore, but I still have fond memories of their cheeseburgers. mmmm. The days of fast-food meals may be over for me, but that doesn't mean I have to live without cheeseburgers. Read this article on fast food favorites. It has tips on re-creating your favorite quickie meal at home, and it even has a long list of recipes. For instance, to re-create fried chicken, it recommends coating skinless chicken in low-fat buttermilk with seasoned bread crumbs, then baking it. I can attest to this -- I have done it many time and it is great. Also on the list: French fries, pizza, biscuits and many more yummy concoctions.

What are your tricks for making fast-food favorites at home?
