bill proposed to fine restraunts for serving obese people

i personally dont think that mcdonalds is responsible for making kids fat i think they and their parents choose their foods and their activities some of it is just plain old genetics but, it is our choice whether we make poor food choices not the responsiblity of the people who sell the food if we quit buying they will be forced to sell better choices to make money regarding the man did he file a discrimination suit? i hadnt heard about him i looked up that old guy in mississippi who proposed that bill he might be surprised who would fall into the obese catagory i doubt that even all of the people in the "house" can eat publicly if that bill were to pass

How is Mcdonalds responsible for most of the obese kids in America?  Wouldnt it be the parents who continually take the kids there? I know that we would occasionally have fast food when I was a child, but its definately not the fault of those restaurants that I was obese.. Please know Im not trying to start a flame war.. Im just trying to understand how people can blame the restaurants.. Warmest Regards, -Stephanie

Do they test for alcoholism before you walk into a bar to order a drink?  I think they should pass this law and see how fast restaurants go out of business!  lol

That is absurd! The most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard. Who are they to determine who is obese and not and wether they can eat there or not? This is a free country last I heard and that is a blatant discrimination and takes away freedom of Americans. I know places are starting to prohibit smoking in resteraunts, but that is harmful to others around, BUT they can't stop the people from actually smoking elsewhere. It's their body and they will do with it as they see fit.  An obese person eating is not harming anyone else around them. Oh my word, what is this world coming too, really??

I AM STILL FLABERGASTED AT EVEN THINKING OF IT? I DOUBLE CLICKED ON THE "BLUE" AREA OF THE ORIGINAL POST AND SENT AN EMAIL TO THE HOUSE REP

 

DOES OPRAH KNOW ABOUT THIS?

They need to close down some of the restaurants for selling us the crap they offer!

i guess if people would quit buying it they would be forced to sell healthier choices or maybe we could choose different restraunts to patronize but, telling us that we cant eat at a certain place is like telling a black person they cant ride the bus kf
