How seriously should this be taken? Man suing White Castle for small booths.

Heard this on the radio this morning. What a sad statement about this culture. And placing himself in the same group as pregnant women and the physically disabled is sheer foolishness.

 

I think White Castle's response was more than generous. It responded to the complaint and took his desire for enabling into consideration.

In fact, I think White Castle was going with the approach to invite him to be more health conscious by giving him the goal of fitting in the smaller seat. Way to go on the rebranding as a health conscious company, White Castle.

 

Never have tried them or even lived close to one. Unless there was one in the Jacksonville or Orlando FL area when I lived there.

 

Judge: "you are a fat f@#$ - case dismissed"

 

^^^^^^^

Yup.

For me, this topic is difficult, because from 4 till 13 I was a Fat Fcuk. I then slimmed out and remained so for many years. Eleven years ago I stopped smoking, and also lost some of the health which allowed me to do 'automatic' exercise. Eg I can no longer bicycle = no more calories burnt as part of my 'natural' cycling habits. I've lived on the receiving end of the murderous hatred fat people get. Object of mental and physical abuse from so-called peers. I have also lived on the 'other' side, without, however taking on the role of tormentor. And I am again overweight, though not as much as when I was a child, and I have better assertiveness skills.

So I ... bugger. This topic is difficult for me. I'm not sitting on the fences, I am solidly on opposing sides of them and am therefore tearing myself apart a bit. I hope I'll have something useful to contribute later, but for now "That's All Folks" with a picture of Bugs Bunny who, whilst not exactly looking suicidal, ain't a happy bunny.

 

I think they should make booths at fast food joints even smaller, and have a sign that says "If your ass is too big to fit in our seats, you need to order a salad to go". Something like that.

 

Salads are only healthy as long as you don't drench them in dressing, sprinkle it with chunks of crispy chicken and order a side of supersized fries.

I hope this case is thrown out of court. The state of health in this country is absolutely disgusting. As is a sense of entitlement.

 

There's your 1000 calorie healthy meal of a salad right there.

 

Also further down, the law basically says private entities serving the public (e.g. a restaurant) cannot discriminate.

As far as establishing obesity as a 'disability....' I doubt this case will fly.

 

Let's take a trip to whitecastle. I'll be the quirky asian. We'll have plenty fun riding cougars.

 

When I said a salad 'to go', I think I meant to take a walk, get some exercise along with it. I forget how crafty fatties can be with ordering extras on salad.

 

Cheetahs. Cheetahs, not cougars.

Unless you meant women over 45 and you, yourself, being under 30.
