The best way to eat healthy is to bring your own food from home or to not eat at all. Given what I see people eating, I don't think eating healthy is a big priority.— Phillies2008WSChamps- people eat like pigs down here— SlimFox
- DON'T GO AND WASTE YOUR TIME AN MONEY. AS SIMPLE AS THAT!— trailer
- Come on, how often do most people go to game, for most people it's not an everyday event. Enjoy it and worry about the calories another time!!!— faxm1
-
Eat before you go to the game. Healthier options (cheaper, too).— Just Some Guy33 - Can't you just leave us alone? Must you be busybodies even at the ballpark?— Gimmemyfreestuff
- the ball game is all about eating and drinking food that is 'bad' for you - beat it! go on now!— ikemcmichaels
- I get my huge roast pork sandwich without cheese to stay healthy— kilo_005
- A Schmidter and Crab Fries with a Diet Coke doesn't do it, huh?
- CBP used to serve fresh pretzels from Federal Pretzel. They dropped them because Super Pretzel demanded a monopoly. It's an insult to eat or serve a Super Pretzel within 90 miles of Philadelphia— Drew777
- you are 100% correct. super pretzels taste like cardboard. i buy my pretzels outside the park and bring them in
- these liberal pinheads expect a warm guiness on a hot july afternoon to quench a man's thirst? stick to sipping chablis at pac bell park in san francisco, and let the men in philadelphia enjoy a beer
- The best is when you see these incredibly long lines at the crab fries stand! LOL LOL. OMG, these people act like they've never eaten before. They're FRIES people!! I've made them at home and they're just as good (maybe even better :)!!— dundermifflin
- I opened this article thinking it may be some piece about ballpark etiquette. Nay the inky decides it's worth the time to write an article stating the obvious (chicken's better than hamburger? thanks captain obvious). do they think we're stupid?— Talon1125
- GTFO with this BS...eat a friggin chili dog— box297
- can't wait for dollar dog days— Old German
- Is the food any worse than vendors and trucks in center city? Hot dogs boiling in putrid water makes for slimy dogs slathered with an almost yellow mustard, after it is watered down.— *Chuck*
- Who wrote this? How come there is no name attached to the article?
- I think the food, bad or not, is a tradition for the ball park. These are after all "ballpark foods". I think the best thing to do is eat healthy everyday and take a "eat anything you want" day every now and again.— WantToKnow
