I was at a concert that had individual chairs set up on the main floor. The woman in front of me took up her seat AND half of the one next to her that someone else paid for. I took a pic as it was funny but then I realized its just gross and unfair. What if that was MY seat that her ass was on? Luckily the seats were movable so when the pother person showed up it could be adjusted. |

This lawsuit should be throw out. Not a right to eat fast-food everyday but a privilege. Eat an occasional salad and will be back in the booths in no time. |

Steelgrid... he wasn't making excuses. Angilian was clearly taking resposability for his metabolism and doing the right steps to manage it.
Reading: It's fundamental |

"Actually many people are genetically predisposed to have lower metabolisms
I'm one of them. Actually disgnosed by a doctor, not just saying it because I'm fat. "
Bullshiit, bullshcitt, BULLSHYT!!!
Blaming your "metabolism" is a first world excuse, pure and simple. Im 230, I know Im 230 because I like to eat alot of Lion's Choice and play videogames, my job also consists of alot of sit time. Im 230 because i dont work out. Not because of some stupid fvuckin excuse about "big bones" or "my metabolism doesnt let me be skinny"........B U L L S H I T!!!! |

"Cajun: I'm not saying the guy should receive a monetary award, but some accommodation should be made if for no other reason then there are normal weight people in wheelchairs that would find it very difficult to use those fixed swivel chairs."

It's looking like this lard-ass will probably win his case.
Because of the Americans with Disabilities Act including obesity, White Castle has an obligation to accomodate anyone who fits through the door.
But personally, I'd be too emberassed to tell people I was too fat to fit at the table. I suggest White Castle provide complementary troughs. |

This country is really getting out of hand.If I was the judge to hear this I would tell him to join weightwatchers,and then throw him out of my courtroom.Think about it these kinds of stupid lawsuits got their start with that dumb bitch that money for dumping hot coffee in her crotch.The people on that jury should be real proud of their decision to give that dumbass anything but a bib. |

FFS, seriously? Of all the great injustices and indignities the world over, he sues over a booth? Really, the U.S. legal system needs to take a very hard look at it's regulations concerning litigation. |

They don't adjust the booths, then be a man and don't give them your business. Hey look, problem solved. |

Hmm, they get sued if a person turns themselves into a blob over eating. They get sued if they don't accommodate said blob's process of metamorphosis by widening the chairs so ha can take space from other diners.
Mate, if you can't fit into the booth of a fast food restaurant, then that's the first sign that you should take a break.
The second sign is you require not just three conciliatory burgers, but extra cheese. |

Having said that, if I already have heart disease it will be a much bigger problem. Or, as you mentioned, hypothyroidism.
There are genuine medical causes of obesity, but people with them shouldn't be a regular at fried fast food outlets.

Actually many people are genetically predisposed to have lower metabolisms
I'm one of them. Actually disgnosed by a doctor, not just saying it because I'm fat.
I'm at an increased risk of heart disease, liver disease, diabetes and general deathiness. I'm also at an increased risk of obesity, which further increases my risk of the above.
The only treatment is above-average fitness to offset the above-average risk.
I've dropped ~12Kg from changing my diet and I'm awaiting the results of a heart scan to see if it's safe for me to exercise. I will be athletic and I will offset my genetic disadvantage. My problem, my life (or death), my responsibility. Sure, if there was a medical treatment I'd take it, but there isn't. There are far worse genetic problems to have, far, far worse. |

CrakrJak "many people are genetically predisposed to have lower metabolisms "
Agreed, but that just means they have to take responsability for their own unique situation and stop expecting the world to accomodate them. People need to try some self discipline.
As they say, everyone has their cross to bear. |
