Should really fat people be denied service at fast food chains?

Question

Have a weigh scale in the doorway that everyone has to step through, like one of those security barriers in shops, and if they can't get through the gap then they can't enter the shop.

Answer 1

I agree with Rob. Everyone knows, including the fast food chains that the food they serve is not good for people so why should they be able to serve rubbish to anyone? I personally hate fast food. It's costly and I can make a better burger at home.

Answer 2

I dont agree but should they stop fast food all together?

Answer 3

No, its the choice of the individual what they eat

Answer 4

Leave the fat people alone.  How about if we stop serving drug addicts?  and child abusers?  and sexual predators?

I am responsible for one person-me.  I don't need anyone else to tell me what I can do and can't. where i can shop and can't. where i can sit and can't.  what i can say and can't.  there is enough policing of the innocent in this country.  it's time to worry about the bad guys.

Answer 5

I think that the fat people who eat fast food should be allowed only a certain portion. But, fast food chains aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them.

Answer 6

no, they could order a salad

Answer 7

it's there choice if they wanna kill themselves. but if there so fat to go through the doors, wouldn't it be easier to just stay in the car and go thur the drive thur?

Answer 8

I have a better idea, they could just make a really skinny door for the fast food places. 2 feet wide maybe? Those places are disgusting anyway.

Then again if you're here in the US you are denying people their "freedom" to decide to practically kill themselves with unhealthy foods. Maybe we should try to start requiring people to bring a doctors note to the store saying their lungs are healthy before they can purchase cigarettes too.

Answer 9

Nah theyre their best customers

Answer 10

It sounds a good idea seeing as it's because they've been going there so often that they've put on weight. The fast food company has made enough money off them.

They'd soon go out of business though as the slimmer people have more sense.

Answer 11

no its peoples choice what they eat. We can only give them advice not to eat fast food but its their choice if they choice to continue eating fatty foods when they are overweight.

Answer 12

no but they could recommend a low carb burger or something decently healthy they have there.

Answer 13

Big Brother strikes again.  You know, with 20 million illegal immigrants in this country, an economy heading into the toilet, and radical Islamists wanting to conquer the world and make us all kneel before Allah....one would think we have more important things to worry about than whether the overweight person ahead of us has 2 or 3 Big Macs.

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

I think fat and skinny people should be denied service. Do you know what's in that food!!!!

Answer 16

I like the alarm idea - they could have towers with snipers waiting for the chubbers to sneak through....

Although - introducing this may affect their sales...

Answer 17

What the h**l kind of question is that?  You cannot deny someone the right to eat at a fast food place because they are above a certain weight.  That is discrimination.  That would be like making people with acne pay more money for certain foods because it could cause them to break out or making people who have gotten DUI's pay more for a alcoholic beverage.  I don't think it would ever happen!!

It is people's choice where and what they eat.

Answer 18

Yes. Fat people should only be allowed to eat salad.

Answer 19

Are you serious!!!!!!??????

What a blatantly cruel question to pose.

Some people are overweight through no fault of their own. Not all weight issues are caused by eating. So you are being very unfair.

And for the record I am not overweight I am just appalled by your question.

Question, should we give fascists the right to pose these type of question??

Answer 20

Good idea, but they wouldn't do it because then they'd have hardly any customers!

Answer 21

No, it's a freedom to eat what you want. They may be going there to eat a salad or a grilled chicken sandwich half of the time. People like family and friends can always tell them how to eat better and they still have that choice whether to follow through with it or not.

Answer 22

no because it is there choice to eat fast food and if they want to lose weight then they should make their own choice not to eat fast food

Answer 23

How about i deprive you of oxygen when i wrap my hands around your throat?

Answer 24

yes, but that will never happen.

Answer 25

I think fast food chains should be regulated... Not the people that visit them!

Answer 26

What to eat is a personal choice so they can't be refused service.  And if they stop serving them how will the fast food place make any money.  I do support insurance companies charging higher premiums for people that are overweight and obese though.

Answer 27

...Wow... That idea is so scary... Big Brother... You're crazy.

Answer 28

no they should not be denied service but they should think about eating something healthy

Answer 29

Yes and no  because it's true people of what ever size should be allowed to eat where they want, and fat people like alcoholics and smokers and drug users listen to nobody, but then yea all of these people are a drain on the NHS i work for them i should now there's no money for much needed resources and waiting lists are too long but the amount of people with problems from the above is way too much and not fair on the rest of us tax payers, who are not over wait, don't drink or do drugs or smoke and drink once in a blue moon.

Answer 30

No they shouldnt! they are the ones that is making the fast food places money. And if they cant get it themselves i'm shore they would just pay someone to get it for them. Without them there would be no fast food places.

~Just keepin it reall :D

Answer 31

I don't think so no, it's their choice.
