 alanocu says: Three legislators want to make it illegal for restaurants to serve obese customers in Mississippi. OMG I'm SPEECHLESS I'm hungry. Weird. People gotta eat. Ridiculous. You mean the corporations (McDonalds, Burger King, etc, etc) can't sell foods anymore? When did that happen in America? Imagine the enforcement here. There would be food cops (slim ones) posted on guard at each restaurant with measuring tapes and weighing scales. Or better still, kids in fasts food restaurants: "STEP AWAY FROM THE TABLE, PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM" And then there's: "hello, 911? I've got a food crime in progress, suspect appears to be obese, he's holding up the drive thru Only in America. Wonder how they will treat home delivery? alanocu, I was listening to my left-wing public radio where they were running a report on Thailand and their growing supermarkets. Small ma and pa food stores over there are loosing business to these super stores where food is neatly packed and showcased. But that was not the story which made me curious. The report said that the obesity in Thailand is growing at alarming rate. You know, I made two and two together, the McDonalds is not the single corporation taking over the world, there are many out there making life "easy" for the rest of human beings besides American. Yes, I know, McDonalds also sell salad, and Coke sells the diet too. That's not my point. So no, I do not find thi... alanocu, you got it, I totally agree, I just think governments had role to play in changing the market, so I do not think they should be left out from taking the control back. An average citizen's voice is government (or non-government which is usually the mafia or those who are stronger among them, as Walmerts in modern times). If we try to give control back to average citizen after making wrong choices for them in the first place then would it ever work out well? Does this mean there's soon going to be a junk food smuggling ring coming up soon? |
