a four course meal is a meal consisting of 4 courses

Couse 1. Meat
Course 2 potato
Course 3 veggie
Course 4 dinner roll

Courses are served at separate times and on separate plates.

Also, if your first course is meat you're doing it wrong.

They use the tiny cutlery so they spend more than 3 minutes eating. It makes them feel like they ate more than they really did. Also maybe they have smaller fingers in Europe due to malnutrition

I don't know if that's true or not, but shoveling food in your stomach does lead to obesity.
Eating slow and letting the food settle down before shoveling some more is the right thing to do and will give your brain the right perception, that enough is enough.

Rofl no.

A four course meal is:

Appetiser - Maybe a salad or garlic bread
Starter - Soup for example
Main - Side of roast chicken and chips
Dessert - Toffee syrup sponge and custard or icecream or pouring cream, or all three.

Also, if your first course is meat you're doing it wrong.

Antipasto. Poor italians doing it wrong with their cured ham.

No, meat takes the longest to start digesting.

Those dastardly dagoes.

Even then I'm FAIRLY sure that Italians don't have antipasto and the main course on the same plate.

Most places I've been to don't really make the distinction you do between starters and appetizers. A salad or garlic bread would usually be considered a side order and not a course on its own. A typical 3 course meal would be starter>main>dessert. For 4 courses you'd either add to the mains (having a fish course and a meat course for example) or have something to be shared and nibbled after dessert (a cheese board is typical here.)

Same for me, usually its 3 whenever I go out. But since he mentioned a 4 course I thought i'd give some sort of explanation.

maybe american's voted for trump because they're dumber than the rest of the world?

i'd like to point out if this is nation bashing orlong just said Europeans have small fingers and suffer from malnutrition so you'll have to infract him for bashing an entire continent /checkmate mods.

lmfao you don't even know what a 4 course meal is.

Your right, everything in moderation causes no harm, but these guidelines are aimed at high fat/sugar content convenience and fast foods. Obesity is an ever growing problem in both our countries, which contributes to other health problems such as heart disease and cancer, so a move to tackle these problem foods is a good move imo.

Sure. Education and even warning labels are good. However like I said, still having a choice is important. And I do not believe in extra taxes for food substances.

[Dalistar]

If people want to be obese that should be their freedom to do so

We also dont need an army like we did in WW2. We just need people who can sit at a console and push launch missile buttons

You really have no clue what our military does with a statement like that. I guess the thousands of men and women who have come home wounded or the the ones killed in combat forgot all they had to do was to push a button. Your whole argument is just stupid and acting like its not a good thing to encourage people to be healthier or in some cases just limit the options to get obese makes no sense. Obesity is the reason heart disease is out of control, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and the list goes on. Those ailments alone are costing us in the billions to manage. We are spending more to money to allow ourselves to be fat, makes no sense.

Why is that a bad thing?

The state should be able to enforce calories for everyone, so noone starves and everyone that has a sickness that makes them fat wont be fat no more.

[Ghostpanther]

You do have choice, if you want to eat fat, sugar and salt laden food you can, you just have to prepare it yourself. There is an easy way to avoid a tax on shitty food, don’t produce shitty food.

The restaurants should have the freedom to provide it to their customers in the meals they prepare. And no taxes should be imposed on any food substance is my opinion. Of course I know this is not always true. So it makes no difference in reality, food is taxed. What some want to do is tax sugar additionally.

I am oppose to it in my country. What other countries do concerning this, is their business. And sugar and salt is not shitty food. Too much of ether can be bad however. We already have educational labels on our food and many are labeled, low or no salt and same for sugars.

Read the other posts in this thread and you will get your answer.

This is what happens when you have socialized medicine.

The two are not related. What would be is if you force adults to go to a doctor or get a surgery they do not want. Or pay a tax if they do not, like the individual mandate for Obama Care use to have.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Must be nice to live in a world where your biggest worry is to get hysterical about government limiting portion sizes...

Of which you can still order multiples.

[Ghostpanther]

You really think obesity-related diseases aren't a deciding factor when budgeting for a socialized health care system?

Edit: And what would be even worse is if you're right. The UK government arbitrarily punishing people over portion size would be a sure sign of where socialist governments lead.

The case of socialize medicine is a different topic. Personally I am all for Universal health care. But not for any mandate everyone must have a physical or be chastised and fined by the refusal to not make the choices the doctor felt I should.

Of course they dont ALL push buttons, but only the soldiers who are on the ground need to be fit

Because regulation of products infringes personal liberties?

Because people are liable to buy 1 ready meal per person?

That's stupid, that's like saying a fat person will likely only buy one thing on the dollar menu.

Fucking how. Very few people buy multiple meals per person. So if those meals are healthier then the person will only consume healither food. These rules don't just exist to make fat people healthier but to stop people getting fat in the first place.

I am laughing at anyone who thinks this will be effective at making people skinnier.

You know what this will do? Create more waste, more packaging purchased for smaller portions.
