The whole site looks like a joke that the Onion would put out or something. I guess if people are stupid enough to kill themselves though, go right ahead, but who on Earth thought it was their purpose in life to make a living off of encouraging stupid people to kill themselves? I never want to meet the people who run this place because they have to be sick sad human beings. Unless they actually believe the marketing/eat the food too then they are just as dumb as every one else.
I'll agree with you in that the food looks gross and potentially harmful, but the same could be said about, for example, alcohol, and I'd be willing to bet that people are far more likely to die as a direct result of getting drunk than eating a meal at this place.
Despite that, though, I don't consider people who drink to be idiots with a death wish, nor do I consider brewers to be "sick and sad human beings" just because they make a living off of such a potentially harmful substance.
Most people who drink are well aware of the risks, but they consider the pleasure they get from drinking to be worth the risk. Ideally, nobody should take unnecessary risks in the name of pleasure, but people here (almost) have a right to do whatever they want to their own bodies as long as they don't directly affect other people, so whether you're a drinker, a smoker, a masochist, an adrenaline junkie, or somebody who loves eating fatty food, you're free to continue what you love doing as far as I'm concerned.
Sure, such people all do dangerous things, but that doesn't mean that they are all without caution. In fact, I suspect that most people who do such things are typically cautious, as they would otherwise be dead or quickly on their way. As such, I doubt that most people who eat this food are "stupid enough to kill themselves" either, and I suspect that very few eat there on a regular basis.
The whole "Taste worth dying for!" thing is just a gimmick to attract attention. I hardly think that the people who run this place are seriously out to kill people with calories and/or promote obesity.
The only thing I find particularly questionable about this is the whole "be over 350 pounds and eat for free" thing, but somehow, I suspect that this isn't taken advantage of very often. |
Too bad it's in Arizona.
