Restaurants should implement an anti-obesity code of conduct

First, restaurant code of conduct would be unconstitutional, rob people of their freedom of choice, and bolster and further the nanny state mentality that is sweeping the nation. Second, obesity is mostly caused by the fact that most Americans eat 75% of their meals at fast food joints, and the food offered there is full of non nutritional calories. Non nutritional calories cause the body to seek the nutrients it needs, and so more fast food is ingested. Hence, the 'eater' as we shall call him/her, eats more and more without being satisfied. The proliferation of fast food restaurants since the early 60s is staggering. In the early 60s, we ate most of our meals at home, cooked by 'Mom'. Fast food was a treat every couple of weeks. We ate healthy meals with salads, meat, potatoes and vegetables and we were healthy. Combined with Gym class, we led healthy lives and so had very few incidents of obesity, and none to the extent of blubberation seen today. But with the wide spread and super dense population of these places, eating habits slowly changed to the point that we are seeing obesity spiral, reaching levels unheard of until these days. People today who are considered mildly overweight would have been seen as grossly overweight. We had maybe 2 of these fatties per class and the rest of us were of normal weight. Today in some places it's become a bona fide disability. Supermarkets are putting out motorized carts for these tremendous behemoths in places like Florida. They roll down the isles scooping up any and every sweet or otherwise fattening foods they can find. And think they're doing a good thing if they have sugar free and/or fat free foods. Do you know what they put in these foods in place of sugar? Fat? It is not nutritious and in a lot of cases can be very damaging. And, since the body has a natural craving for sugar and fat,it'll just get those things elsewhere. And the food clubs. Nutrisystem to name one. We had none of those back then, and none of the exercise gimmicks so prevalent in infomercials of today. Ok. So we have a vast increase in fast food consumption. A vast increase in fast food locations. We have before unheard of levels of obesity, both in the number of obese people as well as the extent of the obesity. Likewise, we have a growing 'food system' industry, a growing exercise industry, a growing diet industry, a growing miracle system, available and pushed on DVDs. And people are fatter than ever. Why would they want you to get thin? That would empty their client lists! And you want to create a 'code of conduct' for restaurants. Have government reach its slimy sticky hands further into the business of private citizens. It seems to me that you would advocate a socialist, communist, fascist or another kind of supreme controlling government that tells you what to do in any foreseeable event. Do you not value the right of free personal choice? What you are advocating is oppressive, controlling, sheeple producing lunacy, the kind that is abounding under people like George Soros (Obama's puppeteer and benefactor) and other billionaires that seek to rule the world with the New World Order. One government herding around a world of drones that do their bidding. No thanks, buddy.
