[QUOTE="donna723, post: 256410, member: 1883"] [I][B]"Tomorrow they will tell us that we have to weigh in before we will be allowed to order a burger and fries ..."[/B][/I] [B][/B] They're getting closer to this all the time! They've passed a law locally that requires all chain restaurants to post the calorie counts of all menu items in great big letters right next to the name of the item! This information was already available most places, on request, if anyone wanted it. It's like they're assuming that people are so stupid that they don't know any better if "Big Brother' doesn't tell them! If you're watching your weight, you already KNOW that you shouldn't be ordering that double bacon cheeseburger and large fries! People know it, but they do it anyway. And they will continue to do it, but because they WANT TO, not because they're too [I]dumb[/I] to realize that Big Mac's aren't diet food! And the very next step will be when the kid behind the counter decides not to sell you that bacon cheeseburger because he thinks that you already weigh too much and it would be bad for you! Or that your weight exceeds the government guidelines to be permitted to purchase bacon cheeseburgers! [/QUOTE]
