The Federal Government, specifically the FDA, has decided I (and you) am not making the right choices when I go out to eat. They now want to regulate portions served at restaurants, at this time it is reported as "urging" but with Congress wanting to step into the issue I imagine it will soon become a bill to be laid at the President's feet. How silly of me to think that what I did with my body was my choice.
First of all, yes, it is typically a large portion...but how many of you are like me that you leave with a take out box, where it will sit in your fridge forgotten?
Second of all, if a person is happy being fat and doesn't mind the "dangers" of obesity who is the government - and who are we - to tell them that they must go on a diet?
Thirdly, we are living too long as it is. I really am tired of people forcing me to prolong my life. I have no desire to be 95, alone, in a nursing home, incontinent, and praying for a nurse to come into my room just so I can talk to someone - someone who is most likely unhappy to have to change my diaper and perhaps sadistic enough to enjoy mocking an old lady pissing herself.
More power to the people happy to die of a heart attack at 65!
