As in "Supersize me"...  and the hyperactive kidz clearly enjoy their Prozac.

In America, they're an eye sore, and in Europe, they are harming everyone
by way of the public health insurance system.  Also, I know of a case
where a lean person suffered a "travel thrombosis" because a fat person
occupied 1.3 seats in a long-distance bus (beside the last free seat),
so the lean person had to sit half-way on the seat's edge with one leg.

Anyway, the fast-food chains are harming their customers, the other
restaurants and the environment, so your "harm no-one" doesn't apply.

Yep, because robber-baronism can only be implemented at gunpoint.
