  • The owner has absolutely nothing to apologize for. He doesn’t promote obesity, and he doesn’t force people to come. His is simply saying “You can eat at my restaurant but keep in mind, you are doing this to yourself.”
  • @lynx2179
    “even though my cardiologist and wife tell me not to come, and after surviving a coma and multiple heart surgeries, i still like the burgers” basically sums the whole theme of the restaurant up.
  • @Rok-vr2fm
    I can't get mad at this dude. He admitted to every f'n thing!!!
  • @VEV-cu6no
    The owner is an absolute chad, doesn't bullshit or sugarcoat anything. Facts are facts.
  • The Owner is literally the only logical person in there . He saw that actually helping people and promoting fat loss doesn't help so he is doing the opposite so people might actually die from it so the rest can learn . Pure genious . Also makes a lot of money from it .
  • @880-4
    Man I love this guy. He’s honest, frank and completely agrees that obesity is bad but wants people to see it for themselves instead of reading it off a book.
  • @DanAraya
    ABC didn’t realise they just did a 6 minute advertisement
  • @walamo4796
    It’s literally called “heart attack grill”, people know the shit they are eating and they still try and blame the owner. Individual responsibility is dead
  • The fact his honesty shocks us all just shows how much businesses lie to us on a daily basis.
  • @burnit_0193
    I respect the owner for being honest, you are an adult you make your own choices and you pay the consequences. He did not force you to come to his restaurant.
  • The owner is doing what every fast food restaurant is doing. Difference is he is being honest about it.
  • @god6less
    Kinda of sucks when your trying to argue a point , and the person is just agreeing with everything you say. lol
  • People choose to eat there. He doesn’t make them. End of story.
  • @pyro4791
    Ok I may be fat but I’m not that fat to the point where I weigh over 600 pounds (no offense) but also at least the owner is being honest with everyone and he is showing the horrors of eating really unhealthy
  • I love the intellectual honesty of that owner. No hesitation at all in his answers.
