View Full Version : Fat, stupid people (and capitalists) are destroying our choices.

It's fucking got to stop :mad:. Now this isn't another anti-capitalism rant per sé but it may have elements of it in there, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Since we have some form of Obesity epidemic (that is only really hitting badly in the Western world) health has become an ever growing topic in the media. What pisses me off thoguh is because people are so fat it's limiting the choices of people who can lead a normal life, one void of stuffing your face all day. Want a burger? Want to buy some full fat food at the store? It's getting harder among all these stupid low-fat, low-salt, low-fucking everything options and now it's taken ahold of the business world:
Pizza Hut will not be known as such much longer! They're renaming to Pasta Hut and introducing a larger range of pasta based dishes alongside their new "healthy and natural" pizzas. They're doing exactly what all the food giants are doing: capitalizing on the "healthy-eating fad" that Subway had going for it years ago. McDonald's have been doing it for some time now. Changing their food to smaller portions, adding nutrition info, making fancier sandwiches (ones on ciabatta-styled buns, blackpepper mayo, etc) and introducing salads and lower fat options. They've even started to re-style their restaurants to look more like places such as Starbucks.
Fast-food as we know it now will become a thing of the past because these large companies will corner the "healthy" market. They're not really introducing healthy food, just fanciful options alongside their current menu but it's a worrying start to something sinister. I predict in years to come if trends stay as they are burgers and fries will be found under a drastically reduced sized, treat themed menu while subs, salads, pasta/rice pots and so forth will make up the bulk of the new menus in fast-food establisments given this new trend. Burger King and other chains that don't change will fall into the realms of the small business or go bust because people won't buy their food given that the majority of the populace will be obese in years to come.
No longer will us normal people be able to indulge in fatty foods or anything of that nature because the fast-food industry, ready-meal industry etc won't be able to afford to not keep up with this new fad fast-food era brought about because people don't exercise (no pun intended) personal responsibility. Companies shouldn't pander to Dora Mcdangerous-waistline because she can't get over having an unhealthy option and not exercising. There are over-population problems anyway, let them die. Remember in Demolition Man where they have banned anything that's not good for you? Yeah.
Fuck fat people. Let them eat cake. Let them have their Big Macs and fries. Let them drown in Coke.
Is this pissing anyone else off?

I slaughter my own pigs, render the fat myself, make my own sausages. I don't really give a shit. Shit, once you've tasted my sausages, you'll never go back to those tiny dried out store sausages. My sausages are all big, juicy and full of white goodness. All the pig sausage you want!

The image of your big juicy sausage crammed into my mouth, white goodness dribbling down my chin as I sink my teeth into 8" of greasy pig (http://www.rondak.org/Images/publicfigs/cop4.jpg) meat, now pervades my mind.
I find this imagery displeasing, to say the least.

Why are you so pissed off about society capitalizing on 'healthy food'? Honestly I think it is for the better. And you know damn right it isn't just for the obesity epidemic or so you referred to it. I think that they are capitalizing on it due to the common good for people in general, and if you provide the people with an idea that someone actually cares for their health more money will be circulated. So this isn't just for the obese.
And so what if they want to make the menu healthier....mister 'I need more exercise' 'I need to eat healthier'....if you are so worried about them changing the menus you can go buy cheap junk food at the store and cook it yourself.
There is one thing you're forgetting
the world does not have an obligation to fulfil your every desire to exacting specifications at zero inconvenience to yourself and if it doesn't you should either make your own high-calorie food or be thankful you live in a society where you can buy any form of fast-food pizza at all

Moving on from pig sausage... I do sympathize with Joe's complaint. It's because of health fascists that the supersize option was removed from menus. Just because healthfags wimper endlessly about fat cunts who can't keep their calorie intake below 8,000 a day, I now can't choose my favourite McHeart-attack option.

You actually took the time to read that whole thing? Is that what he is bitching about? I am a fat American so 8000 calories is just breakfast for me.
^^^What? No supersized? Where is that?
At least I can still get a dozen deep fried potatoes and 1.5 liters of coke with my burger here. Though I doubt they'll be bringing back the bucket of fries.

Joe, I agree with you. When eating out, it is, to say the least, revolting to see fat fucks shove food down their throats, knowing full well in a couple of hours they'll rush to the nearest Wal-Mart bathroom and dampen the day of a certain Mexican janitor.
However, there's no need to feel fastidious at companies preying at the guilt of these obese mongrels. It's plain business logic. Guilty fat man + cash to spare = buys food that's just as unhealthy but feels better about eating it. Actually, I don't quite care regardless; I rarely eat pre-packaged food.

You can always eat at Burger King. I was shocked when I came down to Michigan and find out they now have a TRIPLE Whopper (yeah, it's been along time since I've been around a BK). Might as well call it the Fatass Delight, jesus. Whopper wasn't a small burger to start with.

I literally cough my lungs up laughing every time I see a skinny jiggaboo walking alongside a fat white bitch. It's like, he has to settle for less (more?) just because he's black. How lol.

Well Toothlessjoe didn't appear to as he replied to this thread but did not respond to my post which effectively ruined his point about revocation of choice, nor others' points about fast food corporations merely acting in their own best interests to maximise profits
I agree with the point about revocation of privilege but the fact remains that this privilege is granted by fast food corporations and they are merely responding to trends in mass public opinion; yours is merely a complaint resultant from finding yourselves suddenly holding a minority opinion and thus not being catered to as you were once accustomed to

Do you have state healthcare in your country? Because fat people suck a lot of taxes right back out of the system that way too
the rest of your post reminds me of when some girl at this house party found out two people were fucking in her bedroom and started screaming and hammering on the door 'til they came out, revealing a truly gargantuan beefer of a woman and a skinny bespectacled white guy with crooked teeth and no chin who looked like he was about to burst into tears

The correct term to describe such a woman would be beefcake I believe. :o
Beefer is a term used in the first season of Prison Break to refer to an apparently overweight girlfriend in the context "...a right beefer you've got there"
it has become somewhat of a running joke amongst my friends and I and I use it without thinking in situations where other people may not catch the reference

Actually, we use the word beefcake to describe a man who made a failed attempt at body building at one point in his life and now looks like a mix between Gary Coleman and Meatloaf.
But I just can't stop myself from using it when I see a fat white bitch with titties like watermelons.

I wasn't just talking about fast-food, but that was my main example. It's becoming harder to find any product in its natural state (mayo, baked beans, soy sauce, etc) because companies are pandering to fat, unhealthy people because they've made the choice to be a slob.
"The world does not have an obligation to fulfil your every desire to exacting specifications at zero inconvenience to yourself"
Exactly. If I want to eat bad food I can and if I want to eat healthy, balanced food I can. My point is that because companies are pandering to these masses (pun intended) it's becoming harder for anyone to exercise that option. Sure I want full fat mayo and I can buy it. After finding amongst all the low-fat, low-this, low-that options.
My point is that society will eventually have no "unhealthy option" for people to opt for. Again, think Demolition Man.
fact remains that this privilege is granted by fast food corporations and they are merely responding to trends in mass public opinion
They never acted in response to public wants before. They opened their chains and it was a popular venture. Now people are just fat drains they eat anything without thinking of the consequences (think candy bars etc on top of fast-food). It's only with this obesity epidemic [sic] that we're now seeing them cash in on a market for fad-healthy-foods.
yours is merely a complaint resultant from finding yourselves suddenly holding a minority opinion and thus not being catered to as you were once accustomed to
We're not holding a minority opinion. Every fat person can do something about their weight be it a hard or easy option. Most have chosen not to do anything and it's affecting society. Let them die.
That was the point of this thread. Options and choices are being limited because of the choices made by these people and the money grabbing capitalists who are cashing in on it.

Toothlessjoe is clearly just posting to post, or trolling. I dunno. There isn't a decrease in fatty products at all. In fact, fatty products are just cheaper now, because all that healthy crap is like super expensive when you compare it to the good ol' greasy shit. Like, they have low fat bacon here which is like 5.95 fir 120 grams, where you can just buy the lardy bacon for 0.99 and you get 400 grams.
And because of this retarded economic situation, people are buying the cheaper, greasier shit, that still tastes like real man's food.

This is retarded. You have way more options than you did 10 years ago. Mcdonalds isn't going to get rid of burgers as that is the majority of their business, and subway is getting less healthy with their cheese steak and the 2 dozen fat laden sauces to choose from now. Fuck, A&W just introduced a big ass sirloin burger to the menu...
Sure there's low fat yogurt next to the shit I buy, and fat free sour cream next to the shit with 14% milk fat. but nobody is forcing any of it on anybody.
As for pasta hut, you seem to think they are just introducing pasta to the menu, and getting rid of their deep fried pizza. Well they've had pasta forever, though might be adding more to the menu, and are probably just adding 'healthier' pizzas to the menu as well because the only reason anyone goes there is for the cup of oil in each pizza pan.
Sounds to me like your ass burgers is just making you overwhelmed with all the choices you have now.

Capitalists aren't destroying your choices, but the left-minded who feel the world over should be more like them are doing it by causing social pressure. People who only wish for obesity to be taboo. Liberals like to create little trends in the hopes that the world will think more like them, while capitalists will go along with anything that results in a dollar earned.
Body weight, like anything else, doesn't exsist in a world of right and wrong, only a world of perception.
