Ok, i know we all like food (some of us ) but umm, how many people here like ordering something with 'everything'? I don't mean when that 'everything' is cheese and pickles... I mean when everything is literally 'everything' in the kitchen. I'm not talking about obesity (really) but shouldn't stuff like that be considered unhealthy and not be available on the menu? I ate an omelet called "the sink" once and my energy was drained for the rest of the day just because of the greasy poundage of that thing. (Never gonna do that one again lol) What i'm really getting at here is when is too much 'too much' and when should that 'too much' be too much to serve in a restaurant?

Actually honestly it was delcious... it just kept me off my feet for the rest of the day and i'm sure it gained my skinny bones some unwanted meat, lol. Not every restaurant in america does it. The one I went to is called 'The Coffee Mug'

i agree that this stuff shouldn't be readily available or quite so big. where i live most of the individual owned restaurants give out 3-people sized servings and a competition item. im completely ok with thos huge things you eat to get ur pic on the wall. theres not too much damage done, mostly because it should be a whyle befor you attempt another. But as a tiny person, i hate paying 8 bucks and only being able to eat $2 worth of it, knowing that the rest will just go to a landfill and i just wasted 6 bucks (that's a whole sammich at subway! O.O). very depressing. and its really bad for my friends who were raised being told 'you cant leave the table till you've eaten all ur food' now its part of there normal habit to eat all of it healthy or not.
i don't really have any constructive solutions for the subject tho v.v

Maybe instead of having servings that big they could... not?

I'd say the restaurants should let people decide for themselves. If it doesn't violate the health laws of current, it is the consumers decision to eat the food or be healthy.

For me, the most that "everything" has entailed was when I asked for all the toppings they had at the Pita Pit ( which is a lot!) and I was stuffed after just half of the thing. I think it's ridiculous when a restaurant makes a meal that they know a normal person couldn't eat without succumbing to a food coma. But as a tiny person, i hate paying 8 bucks and only being able to eat $2 worth of it, knowing that the rest will just go to a landfill and i just wasted 6 bucks (that's a whole sammich at subway! O.O). Most places can give you a box to take some home. Just throw it in the fridge and you have lunch for the next few days.
