S.19.1-32: Resolution Condemning Fast-Food Burger Restaurants - Failed

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Resolution condemning Fast-Food Burger Restaurants

The Southern Chamber of Delegates hereby:

- Recognizes that fast-food Burgers are typically made with grease, ingredients designed to add fat, and/or inordinately large amounts of toppings, and typically served with ridiculously unhealthy french fries.
- Recognizes that Restaurants, including but not limited to, McDonalds, Burger King, Five Guys, Wendy's, In-And-Out, and What-a-burger, that serve fast-food burgers serve little purpose other than to make people Obese.
- Hereby Condemns all such fast-food burger restaurants for being the biggest cause of obesity in the region, and urges the populace to never eat at such places.

While the Chamber is not willing to pass formal legislation on this topic, I would hope that we can at least pass this common sense resolution that admits that these restaurants merely serve to make people obese. This would not impose any new restrictions, it merely states that such restaurants are horrible. I urge the Chamber to Adopt it.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

As Vice Chairman of the McDonalds National Front, I oppose this.

We need a Special Prosecutor to investigate your financial interests and why you want to damage the burger and fast food industry.

Is this needed lmao

Yes, Obesity is a major problem in the South.

So what about Domino's or Pizza Hut or Taco Bell or Panda Express? Why only burgers? Because this will change nothing. People will just go to other fast food providers.

It's about keeping these resolutions narrowly focused. If this resolution is successful, we can consider others next session.

So why not target all businesses in the future then? The auto industry has negative impacts as well. Most businesses are not 100% perfect. What you are proposing is a wide-scale condemnation and crusade against all business. This will hurt business confidence and create rising unemployment. Now is not the time to start a manufactured recession!

I have no desire to go on a nationwide crusade about everything that may be "bad" about business. I simply desire to solve the problem of obesity, which is one of the most dire things the country of Atlasia faces. And one way to do that is to stop allowing the worst foods to be served.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I move to table the legislation. In accordance with the rules, I ask for a second and a third on the motion to table.

[YE]

"Worst" foods aren't going to lead to obesity if consumed in moderation. Also lacking from this bill is anything about lack of exercise being a factor to the high obesity rate or  h*ll anything about processed foods that are being subsidized by taxpayer money and are addictive.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I second the motion to table, per my wish to move things along.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

still need someone to third the motion to table before the vote on the motion can begin.

[Former President tack50]

still need someone to third the motion to table before the vote on the motion can begin.

Maybe the people of the South actually do support this and want it passed

Why not move for a final vote?
