The Gluttony

America You are Fat and I know why. And it might not be your fault. You are a product of your environment.

The idea bigger is better is getting out of control. I went to Claim Jumper last night with my girlfriend and noticed 80% of the people in the restaurant were fucking obese. I am not talking chubby. I am talking huge, fat, disgusting. Fact- 30% of our population is obese. (Serving Sizes)

On the way to the bathroom I was looking at other peoples food to see what looked good. The one thing that was consistent was the portion size. I had never thought much about it till now. It was ridiculous. The plates could have doubled as a serving platter in any home in America. The plates were 13in long and 6in wide. An entree with a side and salad was almost 3lbs of food. You see where the problem is?

No wonder why American’s are fat slobs. We have been trained to expect 3lbs of food for every meal. Portions of that size have become standard. The Human stomach stretches. The more food you shove down your throat the bigger your stomach will get. The next time you sit down to eat you will need that much more food to fill full. It is vicious cycle of over eating. You see where I am going with this?

Claim Jumper is not only one, take a look at any restaurant in your area. They are serving mammoth size portions.

Weight loss has to start somewhere and I say it starts with the chain restaurants. They have set the standard for portion size. So they can change the standard of portion. If done strategically it can be done. Start slow and steady. Start with smaller side portions and entrees. People will become accustomed to it. Do not give to much credit to the average American. They are like clones. Restaurant says “Jump” they reply “how high.” I am being fecicious, but really. If the portions come out smaller no one is going to jump up from the table and scream injustice. If a few do say something, fuck em. Casualties are a part of life. If America can loose some weight its worth restaurants loosing a handful of customers.

The operation costs of restaurants will go down and less food will be wasted. Not everyone can eat this much food. When I served the amount of food wasted in one night was insane.

Think of the room you will have in your trousers after you stop gorging at every meal.

Also you might want to start exercising and cook for your self.
