[quote=blake]Great! Just another excuse for people to not take responsibility for their own actions. What’s next?
Hamburgers/cheeseburgers can’t have more than one beef patty?
Ban on large pizzas? Pizzas can’t have more than 3 toppings?
Steaks can’t be larger than 8oz?[/quote]
at least end corn and grain subsidies, would you at least be ok with that?
by the way, speaking of large portions, why do you think they give you such large portions? out of the kindness of their heart? the larger portions have scientific basis when it comes to increasing profit.
it turns out that hormones that regulate cravings are upregulated after ingestion of large quantity of food. so after overeating, people routinely have craving for more food a couple of hours later. and the craving will always be for the food high in calorie. this creates a cyclical effect where they will continue to loop in the same cyclical eating habits (aka returning to the same type of restaurants that started the cycle in the first place.)
and why do you think restaurant food is so salty?
salt is the perfect appetite stimulant. it also create thirst. (this is when the waitress comes by and ask you if you like a refill on your coke and whether you would like dessert).
everything is studied and surveyed and refined so that they can maximize sales.
if the food industry is spending billions studying you and understanding you, if you don’t pay attention, you become the 2/3 of America that’s in the addict group.
so here’s the question, do we just let that 2/3 of America continue drowning in their fat?
