Yea, they buy more nutritious things like cheeze doodles and ding dongs.

People should keep their tongue bridled, though violence solves nothing.

Well I at least hope the woman lost a few pounds in the altercation.

Ummm...yea, they do. I was rather taken aback the other day, when I was picking up my order at Papa Murphy's, and saw a sign in the window saying they take EBT. Maybe that's because its take n bake? Have to cook it in hour own oven. Idk. But, SNAP does cover pizza, at any rate

No pictures or security cameras are the people who assaulted the man. Let me guess, they were white.

Quoting: According to a spokesperson from the Bay Area city of Salinas' Police Department, the victim was inside a Little Caesars pizza restaurant at 524 East Laurel Drive at 4:30 p.m. Sunday when a woman and her adult son entered the store.

The man, who apparently did not know either of them, told the woman that “she should not eat pizza because she was already overweight,” Salinas PD spokesperson Commander Sheldon Bryant says.

Reacting to the remark, the woman went to her car to retrieve a crowbar, presumably to assault the fat shamer.

Before she could strike a blow, however, her companion punched the man in the head "several times," Bryant says.


Fat-Shaming Man Gets Punched In The Head At Bay Area Pizza Parlor: SFist
Better a fist than a crowbar. But frankly, unless you're immediately saving a life there is a reason for social boundaries against involving yourself in others' business.

Bread product, vegetable sauce, dairy, vegetable, and / or meat toppings. Sounds a lot better than a liter of soda and a bag of chips.

WELL, it IS true. If you're severely overweight, you need to lay off the pizza. Having said that, the guy sounds like a young ****. Personally I wouldn't have said anything, but yes everyone knows it isn't healthy.

If you want to ruin your health and kill yourself prematurely by being obese and still ordering pizza, then go ahead. I won't try to stop ya.

Her grabbing a crowbar was just self-hate. She knows what he said was true, that's why she got so enraged. Underlying psychological cause of her extreme reaction.
