You wouldn’t care if you weighed high enough. Not all people have the same capacity about their diet choices. Not everyone had the same opportunities to educate themselves about nutrition and eating right. Age alone doesn’t make an adult capable of making the right decisions. There’s a lot that goes into how people become obese. Just because people are liable to face consequences for their actions doesn’t mean you accelerate those consequences. That doesn’t help anybody. You can’t just exploit gullible people because not everyone who is gullible deserves to be exploited. This is literally unethical. Zero argument for this shitty restaurant.

Honesty? His healthy buisness failed, so he moved to the unhealthy side to make money. If he truly cared, i should've heard that he donates profits to hostpitals, but oh wait, he is directly promoting the very thing he swore to destroy indirectly, so he wouldn't! Do you really think he wants to stop sending this message? He's gonna make money for as long as he can. People think it's funny, not philosophical or enlightening, not so long as people are uneducated. He's "honest" because he wants to feel like he's promoting his ideals while making money. Took the road most traveled if you ask me.

This owner was probably a great chef that just eventually said “screw it”

[@PirateTHESteam1]

I looked it up. He was a nutritionist and a chef. In his early years he worked for the weight-loss chain Jenny Craig. But he used to have a hard time getting clients and the clients that he did manage to get never followed his advice. One day he got fed up and said to himself "If they want to eat unhealthy, I'll give them unhealthy." A year later he opened his first Heart Attack Grill. How's that for an origin story?

lol did you miss the point of the restaurant ? Literally the name of the Restaurant is heart attack grill. I wouldn't want to eat here at all. Having to wear a hospital gown, and seeing all these "nurses" walk around as i have my weight announced to everyone. Its literally your choice to come into the restaurant, and the man decided to go in there, and he was proud of his weight, which was an issue. I feel uncomfortable about this restaurant and i believe that's the point. He even acknowledges it, and literally if shoving lean cuisine down throats and making people feel shitty about themselves doesn't help, why not encourage the obesity and continue the fucked up message. I think what would be worse if the "DR" didn't even realise what he was doing, but he's completely aware. Its a choice to walk into the restaurant, no one forced them, even that dudes wife said not to come but he decided to go anyway. Fuck this video for blaming the restaurant, im obese as well, and i'm choosing to make a life change, they didn't and when people told them not to come they did anyway.

So its the customers fault. cause they obviously don't have to go and eat there they could of gone somewhere else and eat somewhere else like us, you, me and that guy there is just here talking about nonesense when we of course didn't really have to be here to and talking. :P

[@proxygammer3198]

one more thing - you might be saying like, well he didn't have to build this restaurant well suck it up cry baby cause Its already been built its not like you can go back to the past and say hey don't build that. So lets focus on the present cause obviously we can't just randomly make a time machine yet. To me I think these people who goes there just want to eat nothing more nothing less.

The owner is a very VERY smart rather sadistic murderer. He has found away to channel his inner darkness and murderous intent,in a way that kills or maims just enough people that he can be satiated. He gets away with it because of the thought process that drives your comment. It's called Plausible deniability. It goes like this. "Iv'e never killed anyone officer. i'm just the owner of a legit business establishment.. I didn't give the addict the drug forcefully. I just hired people to give the addict as much as they wanted whenever they want in as high a dosage as they want,even if it kills them. If they do it officer thats their fault." In fact theres a movie about a killer who does the same..its called SAW. after all jigsaw didn't kill the people in his "games" he gave them away out.

[@thisisanoutdatedmeme6529]

CallOfKarren BoomerOps what, how could he be considered a murderer?
