Fine, we can ban fat people from restaurants. More room for me when I go out. Also I'd like a law banning stupid people from voting, and ugly people from reproducing.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Should it be illegal for restaurants to feed obese people?

Here in the UK there have been semi-serious discussions about imposing a fat-tax, where fatty foods are taxed more money. How this would be implemented is anyones guess, but it seems slightly less ridiculous than banning the obese from fast food restaurants.

Actually, the IQ test for voting... better yet, a credulity test. If you can believe...certain assertions... no votee for you. Too bad about that wall of separation.
Seriously though, self esteem is almost as huge a fetish in modern culture as a pain free life filled with exterior meaning. And just as big a bunch of garbage. You build self esteem the way you build respect. You are not owed it. You are not guaranteed it. Adversity creates it.
As far as fat people, I don't care who serves them what, but I know my insurance rates directly grow because of them, same as smokers and drinkers and druggies. They all look the same to me. If we allow any we should allow all. If we allow none we should go ahead and call ourselves a fascist state.

Quite right, i say we just allow them all (drugs included), and let adults make their own mind up about what they consume.
These are all public health issues, they are certainly not civil law issues.

You know what happens when they do? Kids don't eat, get low blood sugar and end up getting worse grades. Force them to eat? Parents start whining. Force the parents to shut up and act like humans? Civil rights violations. Strike them down? Armed uprisings. Quell them? Police state.
We could teach critical thinking early on, but that would take money and ruin faith. So we will get fatter, lazier, stupider and eventually be conquered by the Chinese.

My solace my terror, my terror my solace.
I will support this law, if the following are attached.
All sellers of cigarettes cannot sell cigarettes to those who smoke (directly or indirectly).
All sellers of alcohol cannot sell alcohol (meaning alcoholic beverages) to those who drink it (ditto).
All sellers of any form of entertainment cannot sell it to those who over indulge in it.
(and if you miss the sarcasm in that, get out of here and go back to 3rd grade).

OK, time for the first test of something like this. Nope, it's not The Onion. Next, the date, nope not April Fool's. Now to see if it's on any other news site. Yep, it checks out. (Sites are here)
Well, it's not a parody, as such I will give my opinion. This is stupid. As another poster here stated, education on nutrition and exercise is the key. Did I mention that this was stupid?

Dostoyevsky was right
It's a foolish idea. People who are obese still need to eat. To suddenly stop eating would kill anyone's metabolism within a very short time and cause more harm, since the next time they ate even a small amount, they could gain more weight. I think it would be logical to suggest restaurants make sure more of their entree choices are in line with good health requirements, but that's about the limit to what I think a state can mandate.

To be honesty, that is pushing the limit. And you are 100% right about metabolism. Without food the first thing the body breaks down is actually muscle. The human body needs 1000 or so calories a day so that it won't break down muscle and instead digest its fat stores.

Everyone always says "educate them". They don't care. That's the beauty of it. Give a human enough ease and they demonstrate their evolutionary heritage to the point of insanity. If creationists want proof of evolution I would present the 600 pound man.

God love you. If anyone in America honestly believes when they hit 225 that they are doing alright, they have already ignored the amount of education I had in the 1st grade.

Wanna bet it makes things worse? Every time they try to sneak health past the monkeys the monkeys eat harder.
