THEN DON'T ****ING EAT EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU. Or, better yet, don't go out to eat as much.

Ed Hardy is entirely built on this concept.

Ed Hardy beer! Its Ed Hardy, so I must have it!

It's like those Krispy Kreme burgers. Probably just about nobody was eating Krispy Kreme burgers until places started advertising and selling them. Nobody was going to Krispy Kreme, buying donuts, taking them home, and putting beef and cheese between them.

Then some sadistic **** running that minor league team's concessions started doing it and now every fatass in America has to try it and you can buy it all over the place. And of COURSE it's tasty. What's not to like?

If people did not have the option to eat that much, or if it was harder to find such places, we would not have these problems.

The ultimate irony of this thread is that I'm fasting.

You sound like a dry alcoholic complaining that he's helpless because of the number of liquor stores and bars in town.

Possibly, but I find it stunning that you apparently assign NO blame to the fatties who are shoveling said food down their OWN throats.

They're definitely to blame. They have a problem. Just like drug addicts have problems. But if the drug dealers weren't out to make a buck...

Good point. If we'd just ration the food, people would have less to eat. But you don't want government controls or anything.

But you are overlooking the point that no one is FORCING them to eat out, let alone eat fast food. They COULD just go to the grocery store and get a healthy meal (for less money). They don't.

If eating out and fast food was the only choice, I would be in 100% agreement with you.

It isn't.

You don't need the government in order to overcome your problems, GoChiefs.

I don't want the government to control the food industry. I'd like Quizno's to stop presenting Americans with the option to eat 2,000 calorie subs.

This and the fact that it's not a secret that fast food and that other crap isn't healthy, yet people still choose to eat it because they are want it. So since it's already not a secret that fast food/shitty food is bad for your health, whose to say the people that fit the profile would choose to take advantage of a government run weightloss program?

That's because it's easier for them to run through the drive thru.

Take away the drive thru and you force them to eat healthier.

Yep, HIPPA doesn't apply to the government I see. What a crock of shit.
