>No one stops you from eating sashimi, but as I’m sure you must realize, the fish costs a lot more than the rice. Therefore, an all you can eat sashimi deal is unprofitable to the restaurant. They make their profit on the average amount of fish/rice mix consumed in an all you can eat deal.<

I order sashimi because I don’t want the effects of eating rice. Sashimi is not served plain. The fish is served on strips of either fresh cucumber or on strips of avocado, at least around my area. Fresh vegetables are not cheap, but they are more healthy than rice for those who don’t eat rice because of health reasons.

I like sashimi, too. But, I wouldn't be surprised if an "all you can eat sushi" deal would come with some "clean the plate we serve" restrictions. You don't have to take the deal--you can order the a la carte sashimi at the stated price. It's not humiliating to a disabled (diabetic) person--it's just a different menu choice.

This guy wanted a special deal--he just wanted to pick the good stuff off of the plate at the cheap price. Everyone wants that deal; I don't think his condition entitles him to that special deal.
