That won't happen because there are Americans that choose to eat 2000 calorie subs when they know there are other options.

Yes, but if there was no 2,000 calorie sub on the menu, they would choose something else that was healthier. They would not go to the grocery store and assemble their own 2,000 calorie sub.

Take away the drive thru and you force them to eat healthier.
You want to FORCE people to eat healthier?

Absolutely. It's not as if people look to alternative methods of getting highs, or anything. Shit, if people were doing things like abusing legal products, or cans containing legal products to get high or something, your point would be shot to hell. Fortunately, since that's not happening at all, we can blame it all on the drug dealers.

True story. People were never killed before guns were invented, either.

No, I'm just explaining why people are fat.

Because there are drive thrus dispensing absurdly high calorie foods.

If you took away that option, there would be fewer fat people.

Or they could just go crazy and order two 1,000 calorie subs.

It's less efficient to get fat on turkey sandwiches than it is a bacon ultimate cheeseburgers.

It's less efficient to kill people with a spear than it is with a gun.

So now you want government intervention to tell people which particular animals are acceptable to eat?

This is incorrect.

So your mad at Subway for having a footlong sandwich option instead of only serving 6" even though people know that the footlong has twice as many calories?

And if there weren't people willing to consume such food, there would be no fast food.

If I stand 50 yards away from you, how many spear chucks do you think I would need to kill you?

I bet I could kill you with a gun a lot quicker.

Donger 07-16-2010 05:07 PM
GoChiefs, can I presume that you used to consume a lot of fast food and do not now?

If so, what was the impetus?

Take 100 obese americans who love bacon ultimate cheeseburgers.

Now take away the bacon ultimate cheeseburger source.

How many do you think would sit at home and construct their own bacon ultimate cheeseburger?

I'm guessing less than 20.
