The obesity epidemic

[Hoosier8]

Silent for the most part on food control during his first two years in Congress, U.S. Rep. Sanders C-Conn., said he can see no reason for civilians to have high-capacity spoons like the one that was used in this month's eating rampage , that left many people sickened and others over fed.


Sanders is an original co-sponsor of a bill introduced this week by U.S. Rep. McDonalds, H-N.Y., seeking to ban the production and transfer of spoons holding more than 1 teaspoon.


Sanders's wife was overweight and his son was severely limited by overeating during the 1993 Long Island eating rampage.

I think this will work. I have small spoons when I eat fastfood, pizza, donuts, sodas, icecream... oh wait. Nevermind.

I just can't see Rep. McDonalds sponsoring this bill. How will we eat their McFlurries?

I weigh the same as I did in High School. That was 15 years ago. I understand there are legitimate reasons some folks are overweight, but they are few and far between. I do not dislike the obese because I can always out run then

There will be exemptions for state and federally licensed chefs and McDonald's customers to purchase and possess these devices while in the performance of their duties.

Biscuit poisoning, and smoking are what is driving the huge costs in health care. Health care should be rated by the pound and pack.

They can have my high-capacity spoon with they pull it from my cold, dead, fat fingers!

Molon Labe!

Would this legislation affect the size of sporks as well?

Only the sporks that serve a legitimate eating purpose, as determined by the FDA.

We all know that sporks serve no legitimate purpose and were invented by the government to actually hamper the efforts of obese people to continue their self-destructive ways. Sporks were the main force in the 80's and 90's against the obesity epidemic, but their use is fading fast.

Do you need a spoon to eat bacon?

What a load of horses%$t people voted this knucklehead into a position like this, and all the things going on with america today. He decides to spent taxpayer money on a battle aginst spoons. I feel bad that his family had weight problems but hey why not use taxpayer money to send them to a gym, or get them a personal trainer. I guess that means if a few have problems with hi cap spoons, then we all have them.

That will be mighty handy when the zombie apocalypse happens.

In a related development, the Bacon Liberation Front issued a statement in support of the bill saying "the use of high-capacity spoons has for too long limited the use of alternative methods of eating control. Bacon, and other finger foods, should be enough for any person, this is a good first step to the elimination of all flatware."

 

[Donnelly]

Can we arrange a high-capacity spoon group buy?

 

[ATOMonkey]

Don't tell the Government, but I make my own hi-cap spoons and chewing sound supressors.

No tax stamps for this guy!!

It's only illegal if they catch you.
