I think all fast food should be banned, it is ridiculous that people will sit there and say obese
people should be banned from entering a fast food Establishment when there are people who eat this
food who are not obese, but what is to stop them becoming>? Soon no one would be allowed to eat
fast food as they are obese. |

Obesity is based on the body fat percentage on a person. Even a fairly skinny person can have high
body fat and be considered obese. Though you have ignorantly targeted the people who you see as
overweight, and in a free country where we have the right to choose where we eat it would be
hypocritical to ban any type of person from a restaurant.
Now back to the obese thing, do you know that most skinny girls in schools are obese. Because of
their intake of fatty foods and substances, are you saying that these skinny people should also be
banned, for technically they are obese. Or are you purposely discriminating against a group of
people whose metabolism may not digest and use up fat as quickly.
I don't even think you fully thought this through before you posted it, discrimination against the
bigger people more than the skinny even though they can both be obese is wrong.
Use a different term and rephrase this intelligently. |

We should not ban fat people from fast food restaurants. Eating is a human right, and we should not
deny that right, even to fat people. |

No if they need to loose weight they should have self control. That is like saying the churches that
serve wine shouldn't serve wine anymore because there is an alcoholic in their congregation. That
alcoholic could choose not to have the wine and the church could have grape juice or some juice for
the ppl who don't want wine. |

That's nothing but discrimination...so now we moved from color to weight size? Makes no sense! Plus
then they should dan skinny people from weight loss places and drunks from the liquor store. That's
just ludicrous |

You can't force someone to be healthy. Would you? The parallel to drunkenness is erroneous because
drunkenness is temporary while obesity lasts long, even until death. It is hard to lose weight with
habits, heredity and time. It is comparatively and relatively easier for someone to not get drunk
next time they drink. |

Every human being any shape or form, language or look has human rights there for if some1 chooses to
be obese then its up to them and they may choose where they eat or drink.
If someone would like to lose wait we shouldn't leave it to them selves we should educate them and
help them lose the weight until they are satisfied.
I am only 15, in year 11and perfectly fit but when i was in year 7 i was bullyed 6 months strait for
the way i looked and because i was fat and i know how it feels! |

No they shouldn't! It is their lives, therefore they are entitled to do whatever they like. It would
be very unfair to ban obese people from eating in fast food outlets. It isn't the same as drinking
alcohol. Alcohol causes bad behaviour, obesity doesn't.
Some people cannot help the fact that they are overweight and it would be extremely upsetting and
unfair if we separated them from skinnier people. Overweight people should not be treated
differently.
Banning an obese person from a fast food restaurant is pointless. It doesn't stop them from
purchasing fatty food elsewhere. It's their lives and it's up to them. |

No one has a right to decide what obese people should or should not do. If they want to eat in a
fast food restaurant, then they should have every right to eat there. Obese people do not harm
anyone. If they do harm, it is to themselves for eating at fast food places. Many people cannot help
the fact that they are overweight. Other health related issues cause some obesity and sometimes, it
is even hereditary. So, I believe that it is wrong to ban a person from a fast food restaurant
simply because they are overweight. |

Excellent debate! "In the same way that it is illegal in the UK to be drunk in a bar", this may be
the law, but its certainly not enforced. |

We can continue to promote good health and anti-McDonalds (sincerely, that place is evil), but in
the end, it's up to you to decide to eat fast food or not. We should require restaurants to list
calories and fat right next to the item, which would hopefully reduce the number of eaters, but we
don't obtain the right to ban them from eating it. |

No. Freedom of choice should be respected, even when the choice is unhelpful, unhealthy and may in
the end lead to fatality. Passing a law such as the one you propose would lead to ludicrous
scenarios in which young, often not particularly well-educated counter staff were asked to make
off-the-cuff judgements about how overweight a prospective customer was, and whether or not they
should be considered obese. This would lead, at best, to offence and distress and, at worst, to
violent anger.
Even if implemented, the law would do no good. I'm sure that obese people would find a way to get
the food they want, whether by asking relatives to do their shopping for them, or by eating other
kinds of food.
To even begin to think about justifying this kind of law, you would have to demonstrate a massively
strong correlation between obesity and the consumption of fast food. |

I totally disagree. Everyone should be allowed to eat at a fast food restaurant regardless of their
weight. Many people are not obese because they want to be. It is an illness that sometimes is out of
the person’s control. Obesity not only occurs as a result of eating too much, it is also something
that is hereditary or caused by conditions such hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. There are several
reasons why a person is obese, but being obese should not exclude someone from eating what they want
to eat, where they want to eat it. Obese people have the same rights as thin people. |

No, and your not supposed to serve intoxicated people in U.S. Bars even though they still do. If
someone's fat it's their body, who cares as long as they are happy. |

This type of "tough love" approach (if we can even call it that) probably would not be very helpful
to people who are obese. Imagine what type of mental health issues may arise if people were banned
from restaurants, simply based on their weight. While many who are obese could certainly improve on
their situation if they subscribed to a healthier diet and more exercise, others are obese for
reasons largely beyond their control.
Being obese is essentially a disability and I don't think that anyone today would propose similar
punitive measures for the disabled. Additionally, we cannot compare being drunk in a bar to being
fat when ordering a super-sized meal at a fast-food chain. Being drunk is associated with disorderly
and potentially threatening conduct, while simply being obese is obviously not. Other clients are
not normally inconvenienced in any serious way by someone who is overweight. People should only be
banned from public and commercial establishments if they pose a risk to others. People who are obese
obviously don't fit the bill. |
