Not only is it unhealthy, but I think over here the Competition Commission will declare it uncompetitive behaviour, forcing the smaller operators out of the market, and the rest to follow suit in offering ridiculously big helpings for a pittance - with the end effect that only the biggest franchises will survive the "supersize" wars.
If there's 100ha tillable soil available in the world, and 50% goes to feeding humans with their required nourishment, how much of the remaining 50% goes into overstuffing humans via "supersize" schemes? It's a total waste, because people
really don't need 2kg's deep fried chips when 250g will do.
Agriculture is only of the biggest polluters, what with all the chemicals being pumped into the soils. So, obese people (and they are gaining in numbers, every day) who are creating an artificial demand for agricultural products, are contributing in a big way to global warming.
Maybe we should increase taxes for fat asses?
For a given height, you've got an ideal weight. You should supply the taxman with your length and weight, and if you're more than 10% over your ideal, you'll start paying penalties. Think about it!
