Crazy ideas I tell you. Just crazy. If ever passed, would the bill compensate the loss of business for restaurant owners?

lol Fangs, just when I thought I had read everything!



popeye1250 -> RE: Obesity and Restaurants (2/6/2008 9:28:32 PM)

Anytime I want to see obese people I just go to the Chinese all you can eat buffet.
It's funny, you see them waddling in from the parking lot and look over at the manager and waitresses and they start chattering; OoooOOOh bing HOW, bing HOWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Maybe that means -"No Tip"- in Manderin.

Story says in the second sentence he doesn't even think his own bill will pass, it's just an attempt to shine a spotlight on a major problem, considering that 30% of the people in that state are fat asses.

...i'm just waiting for belly-wheels to make it to market, ala 2000AD's Judge Dredd........



EvilGenie -> RE: Obesity and Restaurants (2/6/2008 10:09:07 PM)

One wonders why this thread was not named Dis on Fat People. This is playground stuff. Enjoy!

And you live in TX?

A Texan calling mississippi residents fat based on their state residency is pure pot and kettle talk.

Ahh I wondered when the illogical insult thrower would rear her ugly head. Glad to see I didn't have to wait long.

I never called anyone anything. If you bother to READ the article referrenced, you would see that it is a STATISTIC quoteed in the data from the article.

The article said MS was one of the heaviest states- didn't say anything about how lean any other state was.

TX is right up there-

I never said it wasn't. In fact I made no claims either way. I simply pointed out what the point of the article was.



Feric -> RE: Obesity and Restaurants (2/6/2008 11:28:33 PM)

I seem to recall a court case in which an obese man sued a restaurant for blocking him from a return trip to the buffet line. The last I heard, a high court ruled that "all you can eat" must be within a "reasonable amount"; the upshot was that the obese man lost. I think he's planning to appeal.



FangsNfeet -> RE: Obesity and Restaurants (2/7/2008 8:57:29 PM)

I know what the story says. I read articles before I post and link them to the forums.

The bottom line is that the law maker really wants something done about obesity. Just like celebrities, politicians also have to say or propose something outragious to get a little attention.

He and a mass majority of Americans already know that such a bill would nor could ever be passed based on Anti Discrimination Laws alone. It would have to be taken to the US Supreme Court to overturn Human Rights. I'm sure that the Law Maker himself would vote against his own proposed law. It's an attention getter and not something to actually go into effect.

I'm just curious as to other peoples ideas in the unlikly event the bill could become possible.

Man, I support this law because the other day I went into the chinese all you can eat buffet, I saw all these chinamen sumo wrestler fatties waddling over to the buffet and eating the place bare- throwing rice all over the floor and everything. And one of the chinamen sumo dudes was deaf, so the others waddled over to the kitchen and stole some pots and pans and clanked them together cuz that's how to sign language in chinese- chung chung ching they kept clanking at him. Finally, someone explained what they were saying. Awful! They told the deaf chinaman to go steal some dental floss so they could blindfold the cashier and steal the rest of restaurant food. But it was ok because the cashier knew kung fu and he beat them up and dug a hole through the earth and threw them in it so the sumo baddies landed all the way back in china.

Oh, thank g-d. I was wondering when someone would start a fat thread.

Hopefully one about pizza is in the making. [:)]

Mia, no it's all about "medical problems."
They're all taking notes (Banana Split) off of each other.
The usual stuff, "thyroid", (Blueberry muffins) "gland problems" that kind of stuff.
I don't think (Pancakes with syrup) any of them will be going out to buy a new pair of Keds sneakers anytime soon.                    (Maple walnut ice cream)
And don't even mention (Sara Lee Cakes) walking a mile or two each day.
Hey Mia, when's the last time you saw a fat Chinaman?



OrionTheWolf -> RE: Obesity and Restaurants (2/7/2008 10:39:16 PM)

Popeye will you STFU about fat chinese now?

"China, of course, has more people, and its obesity rate is far lower than America's. But it's catching up. The survey indicates that the number of obese people in China doubled between 1992 and 2002. If the trend continued--the survey took some time to tabulate--China has overtaken America as the fat capital of the world. "

http://www.forbes.com/2004/10/13/cx_da_1013topnews.html

"Fifteen-year-old Huang Jiaxin exercises during treatment for obesity at the Aimin Slimming Centre in Wuhan in China's central Hubei Province on March 20, 2006. Doctors are using acupuncture and exercise to help the 353-pound (160-kilogram) boy lose weight.


China's Health Ministry says that 200 million Chinese are overweight and that the number of people considered clinically obese has nearly doubled since 1992. "

What  a hairbrained  law.

Why not demand  tuth in labeling  so cattle like me can make wise  food  choices.
