Bill made a post on the 25th inspired by my blog entry about the phrase "would you like fries with that?" It feels like you want to start an argument with me, Bill, and I'd love to go back and forth with you, but first you'll have to say something I don't agree with.The fattening of our society is encouraged because it's cheap and tasty. Portions have grown over the years because people keep buying them bigger and bigger. Yes, a "small" is now what used to be a "medium", and it's a "large" in other countries, but it's because people want what they want, and they want a fattening meal.
We come from a very long line of people who survived by eating as much as they could, as fatteningly as they could, and as soon as possible. Fat is hard-wired into our human design, that's all there is to it.
Besides, we're suckers for a bargain, and for just another couple dimes we can make it uncomfortably large. That's still a good deal, right?
No trackbacks.
