This is silly. If you care about healthy food why would you eat out?

It’s a proven fact that these restaurants will stop offering/selling these items if the customers stop buying them.
Just saying.

my biggest complaint is the portions are too large for me to consume in one sitting..I solve that by eating maybe a third and getting a doggy bag..I spread that meal out over a period of a full day or 2..one must leave room for liquified hops and barley ya know..

A couple of years I was out with my folks at a restuarant that had an “all you can eat” area. One of the patrons was really going after it. It struck me that here was an example of “gluttony”. Food was smeared all over his face and clothes. He was very overweight. He kept shoveling it right on in.
It was quite something in a bad way.

Please enlighten us as to the proof.

This article is about sin.

The moral deformity discernible in this vice lies in its defiance of the order postulated by reason, which prescribes necessity as the measure of indulgence in eating and drinking. So what do "reason" and "neccessity" tell us? That a daily intake of more than 2500 calories is immoral?
To: GonzoII
Yeah, liberty is so overrated, doncha think?

That's why your friendly server will provide you with a white styrofoam takeout container. Lunch the next day...what could be better?

Our Kiwanis club meets at an AYCE place. Some really big people frequent that place.

The people who want me to tolerate sexual deviants are the first people to demand to control what I want for dinner. The day there is one set of rules for everybody, you can have my crab rangoons.

It’s called ECONOMICS.
Any decent eduction will offer this, to varying degrees.
In a market system, when demand dwindles, the supply will be restricted.
If you want specific proof, check out the McDLT.
They offered it, people didn’t buy it, so they stopped offering it.
Whoda’ thunk it?

I know, which is why I specified the DEMAND side of the equation.

They’ll also stop if their food costs go way up. This all started because it was a better deal for the restaurants to make bigger portions than to cut prices to compete with each other.

Yep, I’ve seen some people at some of those places loading their plates four or five times over. And, every one of them will tell you to your face they have a metabolism problem or, the battle cry of the obese, “it’s my thyroid condition”.
