So what do "reason" and "neccessity" tell us? That a daily intake of more than 2500 calories is immoral? Only here in America, which is full of evil Capitalists. For over in China, which is full of noble workers, Obama will soon establish a cap and trade system whereby your bread, meat, and desserts will be given to those less fortunate.

Sure.
Most of the profit doesn’t really come from the food.
It comes from the drinks and alcohol that might be consumed with it.
If a restaraunt can get you in THEIR door and not their competitors’, they’ve made the largest step towards profit.
Larger portions were a way of enticing people to choose a particular joint, but then they all joined in.
Any restaraunt trying to back off from larger portions won’t be able to cut costs enough to compete, unless CONSUMERS make conscious decisions across the board.

And, every one of them will tell you to your face they have a metabolism problem or, the battle cry of the obese, its my thyroid condition. Nah, I just enjoy a good meal. And it's two plates for me.

Its a proven fact that these restaurants will stop offering/selling these items if the customers stop buying them. If you make it - and customers don't come - then stop making it. Hopefully that is a fact - for successful restaurants.

This article intends to soften everybody up for food shortages. It’s the Soviet way, ya know.

For the record, Gluttony is the sin I loathe the most.
I cannot stand “Competitive Eating” contests and usually, secretly, deep-down wish that somebody would choke or explode.
It’s awful, but I’m just being honest.

This is silly. If you care about healthy food why would you eat out?" Absolutely!
Restaurant food is unfit for dogs. Their fish is almost always farmed, and loaded with industrial strength hormones and dyes. (farmed salmon is really battleship gray; not red)

Why eat out? Because you’re out, and you’re hungry?

I agree with you completely. I go to those places to pig out once in a while too. I guess I’m just saying some people need to be honest with themselves and realize their choices have consequences.

"This article intends to soften everybody up for food shortages. Its the Soviet way, ya know." The communist way is to soften you up through vice.

Right on. I don’t see a difference between that and cheering on a back alley full of addicts shooting up heroin.
