    Aside from the obvious health risks, there is certainly an addictive aspect to fast-food. Shouldn't this be considered in par with selling drugs to drug addicts or booze to chronic alcoholics?

    If a pub cant serve you when you are drunk, should a chipper serve you if you are a lard ass?

    Tune in at 9 for more!

    There should be a size monitor( ala Ryanair luggage checker) at the front door of every fast food joint in the country. Fit through that, you get served. If not, pay someone skinny to get it for you.

    Couldn't the same be said about people constantly starting stupid threads?

    It's immoral to give you internet access.

    have you ever seen a pub refuse to serve an alcoholic? "here mate, we took too much of your money last week, go on home and keep your money."

    do you think drug dealers refuse to sell drugs to junkies?

    quit your bull****!

    Thankfully we live in a free society were people are free to do whatever they want within reason of course.

    Let 'em have at it.

    No shortage of fatties in this thread.

    No. what if their obesity is caused more so by lack of exercise and not fast food. Maybe they eat lots of heavy carbs like pasta rice and potaties or other high caloric foods like nuts oil cream and butter at home none of which are fast food and its what makes them fat rather than fast food. Maybe this was the first time theyeve ever had fast food. Drugs and alcohol are always the direct cause of the addiction while fast food may have little to no direct cause of somebodys obesity so they are not comparable.

    Honestly these threads just keep getting more and more ridiculous. Stop worrying about other peoples bodies, worry about your own. Theyre adults, they know the risks, let everybody eat what they like. Theres plenty of advice and help services to guide them on losing weight and becoming healthier if they should ever want to better themselves. So just leave it at that, I would say

    If you want to get rid of obese people then give them lots of food and burst them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 181 ✭✭AustinLostin


    I think it's immoral to serve them slow food, its just advocating a sedentary lifestyle.
