Uhm your Wendy's order is maybe two meals. Replace the two rolls with a loaf of bread you've got at least four meals there with a lot of bread leftover.

Oh, and the Wendy's double cheeseburgers would come to about $6, not 2.

I would think they'd be better off pushing for greater regulation of the food industry. Minimum standards for nutritional value and limits on sugar content etc would make a much bigger difference than this circus of a bill.

We all know our government is good at bureaucracy! Now lets give them all more power over our lives so they can make more decisions for us! I am all too afraid that lots of folks in our fine country want to do just that. We used to fight socialism and communism, not so much anymore.

Imagine all the time and research alone put into this bill. It is sickening.

you should be allowed to put anything in your body you want, provided it doesent belong to someone else.

they serve alcoholics in bars? you will be told drinking more than twice in 6 months could be alcoholism. (already)

cigarettes? you need to pass a pulminary function test to smoke now too.

you want to buy a condom? you need to prove that youre not a registered sex offender.

you want to play a video game? you have to be able to PROVE you wont shoot up your school.

Living on the border of Mississippi, and having to deal with quite a few people from the state makes me realize one thing if such an insane bill were to pass, you'd have a lot of very upset people wanting their fast food. I think there might even be incidents of violence taking place. Having heard an audio clip of a gentleman regarding Jimmy Dean sausage (not from Mississippi but still) made me realize just how serious some people are about the food they choose to eat.

I think this bill would be a horrid invasion into the private practices of individuals. I feel that obese people should be helped, but you also have to realize they have to want to help themselves first.

As far as price on healthier foods, this would be the main reason I don't eat healthier. I just compensate by exercising like a mad man 5 days a week to make sure i'm still in shape.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Also, two kaiser rolls might be $4... don't know, never bought them, but a loaf of sliced bread is less than that. I currently bring a bologna sandwich (bologna and swiss on sliced white bread) to work every day, by the way. At home I eat tuna fish or ramen noodles. I'm trying to save money, and eating like that is really helping in that department.

That $7 worth of food would last me a long time. But then I'm sure that I'll be told that I'm wrong about that, too.

Those tiny little things?! Then it's one meal vs. four with leftovers. So per meal Wendy's is double the price. Are you seriously trying to contend that fast food is cheaper than food prepared at home? You're not only paying for the raw food from Wendy's, but you're paying for the cost to prepare it, the restaurants rent, profit, etc... Then if you consider they use the cheapest ingredients possible, 80% beef etc... You serious?

while I disagree with this piece of legislation
I think I understand what they're trying to do.
Anybody that has been to a all-u-can eat buffet
knows all to well. Those people who make 7-8
trips to the buffet who pay the same price as those
who make 1-2 trips are killing the profits of the
restaurant. Maybe that is what they're targeting here,
by telling those folks we can't serve you would
cut out those smörgåsbord buffet dwellers (binge eaters).

Even though I feel that they should eat as much
as they want to, cuz the sign clearly says:

"ALL-U-CAN-EAT"

with this bill it'll say

"ALL-U-CAN-EAT" in under 25 trips ...... LOL

Masi what do you mean no Fatties, you a member of the Fascist state are you. This World is made up of peoples of a colours shapes and sizes and that just how it should be, a natural world not some gob sh--e Politician or do gooder telling us how we should live , what we can say, what we can eat, where we can travel to. If you want to live lioke the Borg then go at it but the other 6.5 billion dont.

This PC crap has to stop its Fascism rapped up in a cloak of civiltiy and maybe when they stop you doing something then maybe you might start taking notice. But all these stupid laws are uneforcable anyway, how many murders in America, the Police cannot even deal with real crime issues let alone this crap, mind you saying that, terrorising the people is now on the menu if you pardon the pun.

WTF? I mean what next obese terrorists? This same stuff is going on in the UK, where they are trying to establish criteria on who gets medical assistance etc; perhaps they should encouraging these places to serve healthier food instead of ‘extra greasy fried salads’ etc.
