“At least they pay for the greater amount of food they eat.”

Haven’t you seen $26 entres at Chili’s? We’re all subsidizing ‘em, my friend.

Only if you eat at such places. The restaurants I have been in serve the same portions to behemoths as to runts. If you want more they have larger portions listed for appropriate additional charge.
Back in the eighties a Sweden House Buffet opened her. I took the family a couple of times. The food was very good and the price was higher than, say Waffle House, but it was all-you-can-eat. After a year or so I would be riding to work past the place half an hour before opening and would see thirty or forty walruses lined up at the door. Skinny people quit going there because it is intimidating being the only gazelles in a room full of elephants. They raised their prices often as the clientele changed and finally closed up. Now there are several Chinese buffets but they will cut you off if you grossly overdo it. Sometimes the girls in Chow Time will tell an eater that they can’t have any more because the insurance won’t cover it. The help is all Chinese and don’t do English well which helps when dealing with customers who demand $60 dollars worth of food for their $11 fares.
