Regulators are getting more ridiculous

"Regulators are getting more ridiculous"

Who says that? The Crown?

Well of course. Surely you have already heard that evil men makeup rules they have no intention of following themselves. Why do you think their tables get turned over and they are whipped and tossed from the temple? It is not because they play fair that is for sure.

Are they? Looks rather like Jesus is busy with something else these days.

Ya' gotta know where to look.

I don't like government overreach either, but we as a nation are too fat. It would be one thing if we had decent health insurance and real options of healthy food, but we don't. Good tasting food is almost like a drug, it triggers brain senses that make you addicted to it. Perhaps we shouldn't "ban" unhealthy food, but instead require restaurants to sell a wide range of healthy, natural options.

Sounds like you are a professional victim. I eat healthy, why can't you? Addicted to junk food and it's someone else's fault? Maybe they should outlaw it because you can't control yourself.

Restaurants make food for taste, not health. It even sounds like porn when they describe the meal, I don't know whether to eat it or screw it.

Because I'm a single man who works a night shift job and wasn't taught to cook. I also don't like touching and cooking meat because I don't trust myself.

People should have choices when going out to eat, but hey, lets encourage obesity.

You sure are full of excuses for attempting to force everyone into your little mold.

There was a Jewish temple in my city. Now it is called "Bank of Mammon".

That's funny, you don't know a thing about me, but you act like you do.

I know you want a libcommie govt to stop us from being fat. I wonder why our Founders forgot to put that in the Constitution?? Do you have any idea???

A lot of banksters are on my s*list. Justice will find them all.

better to let capitalism find them and control them. After all, this is America where the idea is freedom from govt.

Justice, such a sweet term. But not more justice is to be found at the ordinary citizen than at the master. Both are equally crooked. I have better things to do than wasting my time.

so then what???

I see justice happening all the time. It doesn't come by way of trying to form it something that it is not from a human beings carnal thoughts that they believe they can control.


Psalm 37:10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.

silly goofy liberal gibberish. Capitalism leads to a just society since it forces everyone to treat everyone well

Only if the people abide in the law. If not lawlessness rules.

I'm all for this.

Consumers can make more informed decisions if they understand the health content of their meals.

Most people I know who are health conscious eat at home.

The government required labeling on all food sold in grocery stores more than a decade ago. This allows consumers to make better choices.

The market should be allowed to work. But as every student in the first class of Economics 101 knows, the market works best when people have as much information as they need to make an informed decision. The market works less well when one party to the transaction has asymmetric information over the other. There is too much regulation, but the best government regulation is regulation that makes the market work better. Food labeling is an example.

When people buy food, they often aren't making rational choices since choices are often driven by deep-rooted physiological and psychological impulses. That's why food companies spend tens of billions of dollars a year on marketing and product-testing, often at the detriment to our health. Giving people more information helps them make more rational and better choices.

As I stated before the issue is one of proper calculation, Packaged/canned food is created via mechanization, where they can be confident the exact same amount of each ingredient is added and their label information is accurate.

Asking a restaurant to weigh every single thing they put in, then weigh each portion as it is served is kind of ridiculous.

And this is coming form someone on weight watchers, who needs to know these things to track accurately. The thing is I know some places are doing the best they can, and I don't hold them to some high crazy standard.

The problem is we are a country of litigious assholes, and you know someone is going to sue these companies/establishments the second one of their calorie counts is off.

not if it is worded in generalities...the ''about calories'' or the ''estimated calories on the average plate''....

and believe it or not, restaurants do know how many ounces of meat or veggies or starches they are giving you... it's all part of running a restaurant....and planning the restaurant purchases for food....you plan to serve 50 meals of a certain dinner on your menu or certain ala carte items and you buy according to your projection of sales and how many ounces of meat etc. you will need to fulfill your projected sales.

It's the other stuff that goes on the plate, like the gravy and sauces that would be harder to estimate...and people adding extra sauce or 3 pats of butter to their mashed potatoes!

And also a big problem, as Rodishi mentioned, with the mom and pop restaurants, that mix up their hand written chalkboard menus with what they have left over or on hand that they simply feel like cooking... I don't think we should put them out of business or change their business model of cooking what ever they feel like, making them the mom and pop that people tend to love for their nightly specials...or new chalkboard menu items.

They're just guilty about producing generations of diabetics as a result of misguided state regulation promoting corn syrup.

so then what???

Help the small crook and get an ice or help the big crook and get a million. Morally, it doesn´t matter. Financially, it does. The own advantage is all that matters in an environment without ideology.

totally irrelevant since that applies to any social system, capitalism or not. The point is to survive under capitalism you have to care more about your workers, customers and products just to survive. It is like teaching love. This is why it works so well.

Totally relevant as those who are lawless have remained free and that is why we are were we are at this day.

subject is that capitalism leads to a just society since to survive you must care about employees and customers more than anyone else. Caring is good. Do you understand?

OP is over-reaching Regulators, do you understand? If you want to talk about capitalism then you include the pitfalls of those who gained too much regulatory control and started paying off and buying injustice. Greed has no conscience.

why would you talk about that? unless you are a lib commie always being negative in effect to support communism??

You are the one that desires to talk about capitalism as you did bring it up. It appears that you apparently use that "commie" line fairly often to try to goad someone into chatting with you or to get them to just simply ignore you. My pay grade is too lowly at this point in my life for you to want to pick my brain on that issue so maybe you should try elsewhere.
