Can't Get Through the Kitchen Door
Summary:
"Would you like to super-size that? And I'll take a bag of chips and a... diet coke, please."Article:
Children can be unkind to their peers, often targeting those who stand out. As they grow, kids experience various phases. There's the awkward period when girls outpace boys in growth, followed by boys grappling with their own lanky stage. These growth spurts come with their own challenges, often leaving scars.
Adding obesity into the mix can plunge a child into a profound struggle. Many carry childhood insecurities into adulthood, haunted by taunts like "fatty fatty two by four, can't get through the kitchen door." Unfortunately, these cruelties persist beyond the schoolyard, intensified by a judgmental society.
A striking example occurred on December 21, 2007, when 265-pound Ricky Labit and his 277-pound cousin reported to FOX News that they were overcharged and banned from an "all you can eat" buffet in Houma, Louisiana. The reason? The owners believed they ate too much. Before finishing, they received a bill for $46.40?"double the standard price. The waitress bluntly explained, "Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much," and the men were escorted out.
It's surprising to see such behavior in Louisiana, often called the "Sportsman's Paradise." Having lived there for five years, I fell in love with the state. As someone who isn't exactly lightweight myself, I understand both sides of the issue. In my younger days, I definitely maximized my value at buffets.
I once owned a restaurant, and Sundays featured an open buffet. A couple, each weighing around 400 pounds, would drive over an hour every week to dine with us. They arrived first and left last, managing to eat throughout their stay. Yet, they always had smiles on their faces and were treated with respect, unlike the unfortunate experience of the Louisiana men.
The incident at the restaurant was bad enough, but then Mississippi decided to join in. A legislative proposal aimed to restrict public restaurant service based on BMI. Though the bill was declared dead, such ideas often take on a life of their own, threatening personal freedoms over time.
Are we witnessing the rise of food police? Should we allow such regulation of public spaces? Airlines have already started charging overweight passengers for two seats. Now, it seems the government might wish to exclude them from dining out.
Is this how we ensure that only "beautiful people" feel comfortable in public? Do we really want such surveillance over our lives? It's time to reflect on what kind of society we want to create.
