"In fact, only partly being silly, there is a plausible argument to be made for caloric limits to any given restaurant dish. 'No entrée shall exceed 75% the RDA of calories.' Or better, in the vein of Dramshop laws, it could be made illegal to serve the visibly obese foods that are too sugary or fatty. 'Whatta ya in for, Mac?' 'I was framed. I served the fat guy a double chocolate shake and some chili cheese fries. I shoulda known he was FDA.'" – MGZ
