The beef restaurant in the city of Changsha placed two large scales at its entrance this week.

It then asked diners to enter their measurements into an app that would then suggest menu items accordingly.

Signs reading "be thrifty and diligent, promote empty plates" and "operation empty plate" were pinned up.

BS. Don't send the Spam. Send it to me. I like it for breakfast 😋

They know how to make spam in Hawaii

>>The “You eat too much.... you go now” skit was supposed to be a joke and not an instruction manual. 1984 and Animal Farm have become instruction manuals too so I guess it is par for the course.

As are “Atlas Shrugged” and “Idiocracy.”

This guy broke their scale...

Aw, gee. I would never condone a shortage that took Spam out of your home. Forgive me. We can ship some arugula and okra instead.

Look, cut the crap and just ship them Obama.

(You're right!   You have to roll them into one of these trucks, then haul them off...)

Tofu too. They can send all of that that they want.

Americans are a generous people. That is touching.

Richard Simmons the diet and exercise guy said he had a big reputation for really hating tofu. "But it's not true. I like tofu. Friends often bring it over to me and I use it to clean things in every room of the house."

Don't get my hopes up. I also want Obummer and Michelle O to go on a goodwill manned space voyage----one way. A giant leap for mankind.

in case you missed the memo

China is facing a massive food shortage. That goes a ways to explain the propaganda poster signage.

I was going to say, “be thrifty and diligent, promote empty plates” and “operation empty plate” sound like something right out of Mao’s little red book.

Another bad idea to give the Democrats.

I have to admit that, at first glance, I thought you had posted another Dr. Fauci picture to the wrong thread.   But then I said to myself, "Hey, wait a minute -- that's not Fauci."

So I investigated, and found out that guy you posted is Iranian "Dr. Younan Nowzaradan", (aka "Dr. You-Now"), a published obesity author.

Here he goes with Stacey Abrams...

       

Maybe they should roll that rotund fellow in post #26 in to see that Dr. You-Now.
