Almost similar to how pubs/bars aren't supposed to serve intoxicated customers.
You're not going to kill other people with your car because you're full of burgers.

No. Let them die. They obviously do not care about their health.
Again, why is it Johnny from Burger King's role to tell them this?
You could end up killing yourself. It's more difficult to judge than intoxication because the effects are long term. But what if you have a preventable heart attack while driving?You're not going to kill other people with your car because you're full of burgers.
Put healthier food on the menu. If people don't order it, do what you can to make it more attractive (taste better, look better, cost less, whatever). Maybe put health information on the napkins. If people still insist on the non-healthy food, that's their choice.
Every time you're feeling guilty that people are still choosing the non-healthy side of the fence, just work harder (or smarter) on the healthy side.
When it's Johnny from Burger King's taxes that are paying for them to get healthcare that they otherwise wouldn't need by eating better then I'd say he has a role to tell them.
So, what you are saying is that if you were a pharmacist you would make the judgement call and decline giving select women birth control. After all, they don't need it.

You can't get a heart attack from the double Whopper you ate fifteen minutes ago. You can increase the risk of a heart attack over time but you can't predict one. You can also be perfectly healthy in all knowable respects and still have a heart attack. You can't be drunk if you don't drink.
Silly analogy, has nothing to do with drunk driving.
iirc, they removed the triple whopper and quad stacker from the posted menu, but you can still buy them.I'm sitting at a window seat in Burger King last month and this van pulls up. Woman gets out, opens the side of the van, and out comes rolling what has to be at least a 400 pound man on a motorized scooter. He drives himself to a table and his wife goes up order.
She proceeds to order TWO triple-whoppers with cheese and two large fries and the largest drink available. She took it to the table and then she went back and ordered for herself.
I couldn't believe it. First, I had no idea BK had triple whoppers. They aren't on the regular menu, at least at this particular one so I guess you have to special order it.
I wanted to walk up to the guy and ask him if he values his own life at all. But..I didn't because its not my life and it's not really my business. It made me very sad more than anything.
Most of the time though, it is.Obesety is not always a choice, people.
Some really fucking stupid responses in here. Obesety is not always a choice, people.
What the fuck is wrong with GAF and fat people that brings the worst out of this forum anyway?
why do people care what other people eat

If someone is really obese due to some sort of actual problem, they shouldn't be out eating burgers anyways.
If someone wants to eat, let them. Obese people are funny, they are good for business, and they are only hurting themselves. The choice should be entirely theirs.
I believe that any business should have the right to deny business to any customer they want for any reason, the consequences of that being that they would lose out on potential revenue from that customer and possibly other potential customers who would be dissuaded by the person who was denied service.

Charge them more.
I know this is a joke, and I'm not exactly serious either, but I really think this would help. To have some sort of obesity tax. Yes it sounds horribly discriminating, but as obsessed everyone seems to be over not paying more tax than necessary, I think it would make people avoid eating unhealthy food so they stay under the fat-tax margin.
Sure, but have you been to a grocery store in the last 30 years (in the United States)? It's mostly self prep fast food. Very little real food. Mostly in the boundaries of the store, and few know how to cook it.
Oh but i agree that they should be allowed to be served whatever they want. I'm talking about the hatefull comments GAF spews out whenever obese people are involved. For such a supposedly smart and openly accepting forum on other taboo subjects, fat people seem to make people lose their shit.
I dont get it

From what I have seen, I'd say GAF is very accepting on things that one has no control over.Oh but i agree that they should be allowed to be served whatever they want.

Slightly off-topic, but it's more interesting...
Can you define "hyper-palatable" food for me? Because I'd consider, say, French food to be pretty damn palatable and I'm sure you know what France's stats look like. I just have kind of a hard time buying the food reward hypothesis, tbh.
Oh the irony.
I would say being Obese is just about as self inflicted as being poor and homeless. Yet for some reason you pigs are allowed to spew hate at the overweight. You all disgust me far more than an Obese person ever could.
It sounds cold but I'm in line with this. I just can't feel sympathy for fat people unless they have a condition where they can't run/exercise.
Even if you ate fast food you can still burn that off by working out/running every day.

Someone's a little defensive.

Not the owners responsibility to baby his customers, they choose to be disgusting fat pigs, let them.
...because obese people cost money, and tend to get in the way.
They should have a Weigh Bridge(Truck Scale) at the entrance.
That would seem counterproductive.
Let them come! Come here fatties.

How is that remotely the same thing?
And your being a bitch....
