But critics say greater emphasis should be put on telling people to simply eat less and argue that the administration is frightened of antagonising the multi-billion-dollar fast-food industry.

As if to confirm their fears, as the study revealed a fattening nation, the House of Representatives announced that it plans to push for a bill that would limit "frivolous" lawsuits which accuse fast food chains of causing obesity.

Several teenagers recently tried to sue the McDonald's fast food chain, claiming its products made them fat.

Their case was thrown out and, as one supporter of the bill says, "frivolous lawsuits will not make anyone thin".

I am a fat ass. Some girls are into tat though.

Uh I am drunk too, hence the typos.

tit for tat?

The caption is the best... especially if you hover your cursor over him in IE...

("Overweight Man")

I'd love be the model for that photo, and have that in my portfolio.

"Yeah.. *breathes on knuckles* I was "Overweight Man" on the March 9th 2004 article on obesity on da Beebs, ya know.. *smirks and raises eyebrow, whistling*"

Would the Patsy photo have been a better choice?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I can no longer post.. i'm in complete shock and hysterics... I just heard "Shakespeare" do a cameo on a Samantha Fox song "If Music Be The Food Of Love"

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:36 (twenty-two years ago)

You are to share this, of course.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:43 (twenty-two years ago)

it's illegal to share the music that be the food of love. I think that's why our kids are obese.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

And how the terrorists are winning.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:46 (twenty-two years ago)

besides, ned, it's a cameo on par with the mysterious ninjas that were part of Milli Vanilli's live act. you can die and miss it and your soul will not be sad.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

My soul is vile and evil and demands that Shakespeare dance for me.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

it's nowhere NEAR an MC Skat Kat type thing, let's put it that way.

Sweet memories.

I'M LIKE A MINUS, NED'S LIKE A PLUS!

Remember how Paula said she was not particularly fond of cigarettes, and yet MC Skat Kat rather enjoyed wrapping up dried tobacco leaves and smoking them, or perhaps he referred to a mysterious substance called 'cheeba' in some creative way while dancing on a car.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:54 (twenty-two years ago)

it was all about the ear piercing and those overalls.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

This is true, and let us not forget that fade which alas did not hide the fact that his ears were rather large. This was perhaps not as striking as Paula in another video revealing that she had served in the German Navy under Herr Kapitan Rolf Zangredmunschen.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:57 (twenty-two years ago)

these fucking Nazi Anti-Carbohydrate Zealots keep teeling me not to drink alcholic beverages and I say, well, dude, I like to drink. If you legalized weed I would drink less. I am clearly drunk but my inhibitions are low ebough to allow me to hit the submit button.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:57 (twenty-two years ago)

(What the hell does the guy put on his resume now? "I was the voice of MC Skat Kat." "Fuck you.")

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:58 (twenty-two years ago)

MC SKAT KAT IS REAL NOT JUST A VOICE FUCK YOU NED DONT MAKE ME CRY BRING ON IT FUCKFACE

I think the terminology is 'DON'T TRY IT,' pronounced for dramatic effect.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 07:03 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

Why are we so fat? Chocolate chip pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick, that's why.

i daresay we have arrived in the future, where science has given us the melding of McGriddle and corndog.

― kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 29 September 2006 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

omg

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 29 September 2006 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

I had a really, really hard time not buying these at the store. I mean, the corndog is nature's perfect food.

If it can't be extruded from a caulk gun, it is not teh future.

only a matter of engineering. You can get an easily made batter and sausage material into a tube, can you not?

my god, that is so perversely brilliant

"Now with Jimmy Dean Gravy n' Gum Dippin' Sauce (TM)!"

If we fed these to a Gitmo detainee, would that be considered "CID" treatment?

― schwantz (schwantz), Friday, 29 September 2006 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

I like how they feel the need to spell it out for people who are just staring at it in amazement: "Pancake Batter Covering a Sausage Link."

there's apparently blueberry ones too.

now that's a bridge too far

Is that worse than this?

Dateline Costa Mesa... I blame Ned!

It's all well and good to talk about obesity, but I think we need to look at the public health epidemic that's fueling it -- spiraling rates of chocoholism.

I suggest a Prohibition approach, but mostly because it turns me on to imagine going to speakeasies where licentious women loll around stuffing themselves with bonbons and drizzling chocolate syrup on their tongues.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 29 September 2006 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

Goddammit, I've been thinking about those McGriddlesy corndog eals all day. THx thread. They cost like $7 a box, too, so there's no way I will know if this breakfast madness is the yum.

THOMPY THOMPSON THE FOOD CRYBABY

― [email protected] ([email protected]), Saturday, 30 September 2006 04:05 (nineteen years ago)

Well, I am amazed at the pancakes & sausage package.

But Burger King isn't alone in fattening up its fare. There are worse burgers out there -- notably Hardee's 1,420-calorie Monster Thickburger, with 107 grams of fat.

Sales figures show that the more egregious the bad nutrition, the better the food sells. When Hardee's added its 715-calorie Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shake, shake sales doubled.

Better get a side of CPR with that Monster Thickburger
