Or I'll order a tasty appetizer rather than a huge meal. I also walk a lot. So I'm in decent shape--although I've never been skinny in my life.

Smoking bans don't bother me at all. Houston restaurants have been non-smoking since September & are doing fine.

The guidelines for women who might get pregnant can be ignored by those who are 100% sure they'll abort any unplanned pregnancy. Most of those guidelines are just basic good sense. One reason they were presented is to convince insurance companies to cover young women.

Restaurants have found that many people want huge portions--so I doubt the government will really try to stop them.

Live your life as you wish. I won't try to stop you.
