What is coming out of his mouth is utter bs, he is irresponsible but it’s a free country. If you want to eat yourself to death, be my guest, you are a moron to do so.

you get what you pay for.

Owner Of The Heart Attack Grill Defends His Restaurant On Fox News After Giving Guy Actual Heart Attack

This may come as a surprise to you, but dietary choices that lead to heart disease don’t give you a heart attack while you’re still eating them.

 That’s weird, because you’re saying the same thing he did.

Only that he didn’t see himself as irresponsible and the eaters as morons.

Again, Personal responsibility, The Guy who had the heart attack didn’t have it from eating at the Heart Attack Grill,  and What He ate was irrelevant,  His problem, The road to that Heart Attack, started long before, by His choices in life style.

Pablo, WHEN have the Leftists and their Food Police ever let facts get in the way of their “beliefs?”

I’ll stop eating 6000 calorie burgers when the organic brown rice isn’t laced  with arsenic.

And he is thanking FOX, Mediaite, MSNBC and any other news outlet that will continue giving him
all this FREE Advertising! I understand his business is booming. More power to him. I wiosh I had thought of it.

Your comment that advocates personal responsibility and indivudual freedom must be rescinded immediately if you wish to keep your liberal nanny state membership card.

 No- He gets what you pay for! It’s not about personal freedom or a nanny state you dim whits! It’s about greed and covering it up with the Grand Ole Flag~ take responsibility for your actions as a greedy business owner- don’t blame it on left or right- fools

Certainly a factor, although genetics does play a role.  There are people that live very healthy lifestyles and still have CAD. The inverse is true, a study done on a town in Italy revealed dangerous levels of cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, with no CAD, amazing stuff. The restaurant gave the guy a heart attack?  The title of this thread is suspect at best.

With that in mind, we need every Macdonald’s, steak joint, donut shop, and BBQ shack, to come on line and apologise as well.  Good call.

Im sure they’re greedy as well.

How do we get news channels from the movie Idiocracy? This is magic!

This is so baloney – you don’t get a heart attack right away after eating a high fat meal. Heart attack frequently happens as a result of pre-existing heart disease being built up over the years. Your heart doesn’t get clogged right away after eating high fat meal. To blame the Heart Attack Grill for his heart attack is ridiculous and reflects little understanding of cardiovascular disease. The cause and effect is totally misplaced. Anyone can have a heart attack at ANY restaurant, even Whole Foods Market! If it happens at WFM, should we blame WFM for his heart attack?!?! 

The restaurant and its name are a statement about personal responsibility. He’s as up front as possible about just what his food will do to you. However, as an American you should have every right to shovel that crap in your mouth if you choose to. We do not need busy body groups trying to dictate what we eat.

Could you be any more disingenuous? The low life span of the founding fathers days had little if anything to do with their diet and everything to do with the relatively backward state of medicine, and the fact that many more people died in infancy and childhood than they do now. In other words, that life span is an average. People on average probably ate much healthier diets than they now do, and for that matter were probably healthier, period.

I had the great misfortune of driving through Huntsville, Alabama, moving my daughter back from college in Sewanee.  It was early in the morning. My daughter was hungry. We stopped at a “family” restaurant, walking through a cloud of smoke to enter. Everyone was eating huge slices of thick fatty ham, biscuits glistening with butter or some other sort of oil, eggs friend in bacon drippings and grits. There was even a Grease Girl walking around with a tub of grease and a ladle liberally applying it to the grits. I ordered oatmeal (instant) and fruit (canned) salad. Couldn’t get out of there soon enough. I bet if we had that breakfast club reunion, a full 10% would be absent due to death and another 10% unable to remove themselves from their ventilators to attend. Yet, not a single food policeman in sight. A bit of histrionics, Ditzy.

My advice: East smart and stay out of Alabama.

True- you cannot cheat the devil. You can help your health if you eat well and exercise, but it’s the genetic crap shoot that will ultimately determine when you die. A friend in his fifties keeled over dead while on a bike ride through France- he had never smoked, didn’t do drugs, ate properly, was never overweigh and exercised regularly, but the heart disease in his family, that had skipped his father’s generation, got him. It’s the death we all wish for ourselves, but we want to designate the “when.” It’s in the genes, folks, you don’t get to choose them.

i can’t speak to the intellect of whoever authored this particular headline…  but i’m sure there are plenty of simpletons watching and reading who actually now believe that consuming a single hamburger can instigate a heart attack…  this is the mindset that would have you believe global warming caused hurricane katrina…

This idiot RRE or whatever seems to ALWAYS have a personal story for every f’n subject that come up on this board every f’n minute of every f”n
day.  IS it just me, or does everyone see this fool as a BS artist of the first order with an enormous amount of time on his hands.
OH. and does anyone ever believe a word he ever prints??? or give a crap?

Lefties are constantly spewing the ‘stay out our bedroom’ or ‘my body my choice’ when their sex choices are involved.

Funny, is it not? That when the issue pertains to any other room of the house – or does not involve sexual choices; they are right there to tell you what you should and should not do. And are prepared to lobby to stop those choices.  

Doubt if this place has caused more problems than McDonalds, Burger King, or Wendy’s. Only problem is the name of this place combined with the fact someone had a heart attack while eating there. At least he’s honest about his product, unlike tobacco companies that claimed their product had no adverse effects.

BTW, how self destructive & suicidal are we if we want to go to such places?

Oh I must have missed that piece of legislation that outlaws serving artery-clogging food.
Just another trumped up strawman for right wingers to fume about. (See also : war on Christians & war on gun owners.) Yet oddly, their idea of freedom ends at legalizing marijuana.

It’s just you.

I just want every fat bastard out there to pay higher insurance costs to offset my costs.  I don’t care what you eat, how much you eat or who sells it to you, but your life style is costing me money.

The guy creates a strawman to get free pub, and you go right along for the ride.  Who is telling this guy to close down?  Is there a link where a goverment official is trying to put him out of business?

Is that you, Sarah N. Italy?

You did miss it…liberals at state a local level around the country are outlawing all sorts of  food……

check out San Francisco if you want a good “taste” of whats going on…they dont even like Coca Cola there….

Coca coal=Bad…… Mary J=Good….thats the logic out in Utopia.

Common man…you need to keep up with your party’s oppression of the country please.

Than you can start by soliciting a higher cost from the poverty class. since they are one of the fattest segments of the population.

Why do you hate poor people?

That’s how it worked in the free market. You paid according to your risk. But you wanted Obamacare, so shaddap and like it.

Common man..you’re a smart guy, just add two plus two.
 
The way the government attacks things like this is through tax.  Taxes are a weapon.
 
They did it to the tanning industry with a 10% additional tax.

I agree with your assessment that this guy is simply seeking publicity, But….. 

They can hit this guy for trans fat content, sodium, sugar..whatever…and tax the hell out if it once it crosses a threshold decided by our powerbrokers at the state and federal level.
 
To out right close him down…well, to quote Satan in the movie the “Exorcist” ..”that would be a vulgar display of power”

They bled George Washington to death back then…trying to help him get better.

If you watched the clip, you’d find the answer to your question.

John Bershad, why turn the story into a fox bashing?

He didn’t give the guy a heart attack, you dolt.  It’s not the burger you’re eating right then, and frankly the evidence that diet is that big a contributor is not that strong — it’s just one of the few things that *can* be controlled.

Go suck a big nut you lib (-). No one is forced to go in that restaurant, but under Obama, you are forced to get insurance and religious organizations are forced to offer BC.

And yeah, that guy was perfectly healthy before he went into that restaurant, right? That one burger did it.

FU!

STFU

I enjoy the Royal Emperors post, yours not so much.

Because he could.

McDonald’s culture laid bare – this guy is saying the truth about his product.  

Could they be a fat bastard by reasons not attributed to “life style”?

I don’t remember the free market having a fat clause, only a smoking one, but I could be wrong. Also, I don’t remember posting that I’m a big fan of the health care plan as written, because I’m not.

I don’t hate poor people, but have little use for people who can’t control their eating habits. I do have sympathy for the children of the poor who’s parents feed them fast food far too often. I know there is an argument that fast food is low cost, but having them drink cokes and other sugar drinks at an early age is not in their best interest.

Yes, but not 63% of the population.  That is the percentage of Americans who are overweight (36.6) or obese (26.5).  This is not a DNA issue, it is matter of what you eat.  The American diet has gone from a majority of whole foods (~85%) to one of processed foods (~80) over the past few decades.   Throw in the hormones in all meats and you have a fat country.  You should check it out, there is plenty of information on the subject.

Pot is actually less of a health risk for you vs. Coco Cola, not that I’m advocating for pot, but thought I would mention that .

GREAT Point!!

This guy ate at his OWN risk and LOST!!

But the founding fathers DID have a certain group of people to whom they dictated what could and could not be eaten. I think George Washington had over 200 in his group alone. 

The guy walked into the place with a heart condition. You don’t get a heart attack moments after eating something. The digestive process is not THAT fast.

Given that most of the United States eats grains, sugary, processed carbohydrates, eating at this place is considerably healthy in comparison to what is found in the common kitchen cub-bard. Now I have another reason to travel to Vegas, so I can eat at this place.

I agree 100% with personal responsibility with what you eat (adults). That said the game is somewhat rigged as to what is presented to the public as far as healthy choices. Not only should adults investigate exactly what it is they are eating, but who is paying to get their product to market at the expense of more healthy choices. The Obama administration has done a pretty bad job of doing anything about the problem, despite the rights apoplectic reaction to the First Ladies healthy eating program (or whatever it is called).  The Pres has gone along, and in some cases is worse on the isses, vs. the Bush admin.  The farm subsidy in this country is one of the most corrupt enterprises in goverment, but money talks.

BTW – This is a conservative cause as far as I’m concerned and one that could win the repubs some street cred if they were to tackle it.

Agreed, sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits, no exercise make up for a tubby America.  But how do you know who’s overweight due to pathology or poor habits?
Thanks for the tip check it out, I counsel National Guard and Reserve units on healthy lifestyles.

King, you are confusing your trip with the movie My Cousin Vinny.  You probably dreamed all this.

Personally, I’d rather read King’s b.s. that that of the horde of snotty nosed kids who have come here in the last year to say “Hooray for our side!”  You are just jealous that we aren’t interested in the game of hacky sack you played today.

 Dream on. 

Owner Of The Heart Attack Grill Defends His Restaurant On Fox News After Giving Guy Actual Heart Attack

Really poor headline.  The grill did not give the guy the heart attack.  Years of eating that stuff did. 

 Sounds like you inadvertently stumbled into a TP rally.

As your individual freedom drives my health care premium through the roof every quarter,just so your personal responsibility isn’t infringed and your individual ignorance to eat yourself into a coronary is maintained.And why would we ever want a NANNY STATE of healthy Americans,since that would detract from my investments in SICK CARE.

Check out the book the Rave Diet and Life Style, it is a good start. Good luck.
