It's funny to the point of being disgusting

[hollowtip]

Everytime I pass my local Taco Bell, there are always people getting something to eat. Not funny in itself, but you should see the drive through. 12-13 cars sometimes circulating through the parking lot. while the front parking spots are readily available and the dining area almost completely empty.

You could save at LEAST half the time ordering in the dine in area than sitting at the drive through with all the lazy asses.

And then people go and turn around the fast food industries and sue because they are overweight.

It's sickening to me.

I haven't heard of any recent sueings about the fastfood industry around being overweight. Maybe fastfood should counter sue with "You ate my rather unhealthy food with the thought of knowing you would get overweight/unhealthy."

I too never understood why people cram up in the drive through when theres barely anyone in the actual store and 9 times out of ten you'll probably get served faster than waiting in the drive through.

These days people are either fat or incredibly lazy.

A pet peeve of mine is how people will wait for a long time and hold up traffic for a parking spot that is close to the store rather than parking a little bit far and walking their fat asses/lazy asses to the store.

And people wonder why their fat or unhealthy.

I drive thru all the time, mainly because I am on lunch break from work. I am active though, people can do whatever they want as long as I'm happy.

Well, it is a way to get free money.

If you haven't watched the movie "Super Size Me" (http://www.supersizeme.com/) do it and find out what those lawsuits were all about. (They were thrown out of court by the way about three or four years ago, and laws have been changed making the unhealthy fast food "restaurants" not liable for selling food that is making people over weight.)

The same thing happened to the tobacco companies and they lost their lawsuits. It is the same thing. If you are being poisoned with addicting foods that are easy to get and don't cost that much and take no effort by you to make, you get it. If this is marketed by the fast food industry (McDonalds and such) as being a complete meal, who's to blame? Should the consumer know better? Yes, but if they are being told that it is OK to eat their food, and all they are doing is eating the food that is said to be a complete meal and not bad for you, are they at fault here? The tobacco companies didn't get off the hook by saying "You should have known better then to use our product we were saying was OK for you to use" why should the fast food industries?

The fast food companies are telling the comsumers that it is OK to eat their foods. The fast food companies don't have warning labels on their products like other foods and products that are bad for you have (tobacco, alcohol. Even mattresses have warning labels). If you watch the movie, you'll see just how bad for you this type of food is.

After watching Super Size Me I stopped going to fast food restaurants. I don't wait in the drive thru or walk in to get food.

I'm neither. Which one are you?

My damn girlfriend has gained like 80 pounds since we started dating, but she developed asthma and now can't exercise or anything. It sucks because now she just bitches about how fat she is and, of course, goes to Taco Bell for solace.

I want to hang myself.

I'd get out of the relationship but I don't want to be the asshole that ditched the girl because she became a porker. (I guess that's me trying to say I don't like superficial pricks and if I left I'd be a hypocrite. Plus I do still care about her).

Damn you, Taco Bell! Damn you!!!

Mmmm.... Tacos.....

There is no reason they shouldn't have warnings. Afterall, this country is overweight, so perhapse a few warning labels on the wrappers would be called for. Not very many people would pay attention anyways. I don't see why the industry doesn't do so anyway. If they did, it would no longer be their fault.

As for the government making them put lables; I don't see why not. If we make video games place warning labels, why not fast food industry?

I'm neither(Never said all people) but if your the type to hold up traffic for a close parking spot or wait in a huge drive through line then your fat/lazy. I'm not trying to be mean but Did I hit a nerve? For you to nick pick and fire at something as small and unserious as that sentence?
