Restaurants as obesity cops doesn't sit well

Now that the s*** has hit the fan, the s***heads are being paraded by the media.

"Nutrition experts are burning up calories in expressing their outrage over proposed legislation in Mississippi that would prohibit restaurants from serving obese customers."

If they were so expert, why are we so fat?

"'It would be hard to concoct something more ridiculous,' says Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.

'This brings bias against obese individuals to a new and appalling level, and at a time when significant progress is being made in the effort to stop blaming obesity on the people who have it and to address the social and political conditions that drive it."

The only "ridiculous" thing here is that Kelly Brownell is considered an expert.

Kelly is a fat pig who cannot control his own weight, misrepresents himself as slim on the Yale website and then presumes to tell the rest of us what to do. (He is on staff at Yale, the same toxic place where David Katz works.)

Here's are two pictures of Kelly, the expert:



















Can you say "Oink"?

Then there is this moron:

"Timothy Church, director of preventive medicine research at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, says the idea for the proposed law is 'insane. I don't even know how to react to something so bizarre. This is five steps backward. This is not how you address the problem on so many levels.

'And what about civil rights? It's totally unenforceable, and you'd be alienating people. Most people who are obese don't want to be that way.'"

It is clear this imbecile has not heard of Dram Shop Acts.

And proof that these aforementioned experts are clearly in the wrong, look who joins them:

"J. Justin Wilson of the Center for Consumer Freedom, a group financed by the restaurant and food industry, said in a statement: 'This is the latest example of food cops run amok. Are waiters supposed to carry scales around the restaurant and weigh every customer? Give me a break. What's next? Will waitresses soon be expected to make sure we eat all our veggies?'"

Church and Brownell are clearly in their element when they cozy up with the restaurant and food industries.

The idea is sound. The idea is not new. The idea is a familiar one and has been tested over time in the context of alcohol consumption which is more subjective a determination than fat.

It remains easier to apply to minors and that is a starting place.
