Fast Food and Americans' Weights

[SummerChild]

Ladies and Gents,
I was wondering what you think should be done, if anything, about fast food given that the reports are indicating that Americans' are largely heavier than citizens of other countries.

I only ask b/c yesterday I was waiting for my food in car at Lousiana Fried Chicken yesterday (a CA chain that sells fried chicken and fried fish) when I noticed a man struggling to get out of the door of his minivan. Now mind you, there was not a car parked next to him and he seemed to have the door open as far as it would go. He was standing with both feet on the ground but was trying to pull himself out of the doorway of the car. He somehow got onto the sidewalk (I didn't look) and had to upright himself by *pushing off on his car hood* once he got both feet on the sidewalk. He could barely walk. He was every bit of at least 400 lbs or maybe more. I looked and lo and behold, he was going into Lousiana Fried Chicken! I was so mad at the people for serving him (although I know that is wrong b/c it is unhealthy food so they probably shouldn't serve anyone). But I was so mad b/c it looked like this man needed to be admitted to a hospital and they were serving him Lousiana Fried Chicken for a few bucks!!!

I know that it's ridiculous but I almost felt like there should be some sort of fine for serving someone in that condition.

What do you think?

ETA: I was mad with the company b/c I felt like this must be someone who can't help himself if he is this heavy and having to do all this just to get some LA fried chicken - I felt like they shouldn't take advantage of that. Not that they could have truly refused to serve him.
