Would you think it unethical for a food truck to park outside weight loss support groups, promoting an adjusted menu with added healthier versions of the usual moneymakers?

write the calories on the menu too, but lie about them being lower

say its a low fat sauce but put fat in it

that would be unethical btw

Those options are healthy an up until now I was okay with it but one of the weight loss guides argued opportunism. Taking advantage of the weak-willed by facilitating the bad habits they're supposed to be leaving behind.

you might get some customers heading into the gym wanting some quick carbs before their workout but nobody ever wants to eat straight after a workout.
strenuous exercise puts a lot of strain on a person's stomach so the last thing you want to do is put food into it.
ever see someone puke while lifting? it's all connected.

but good luck tho.

>> No.10370745

>>10370693
Not really.

A good burger: quality grass fed beef (protein, good fat), salad (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, nutrients and fiber) is good for you. The worst things are probably the cheese (casein proteins) and the bread (refined carbohydrate, lectins)

Only portion matters.
It's more likely to order and finish up a whole burger of 700 Cal than to order a jumbo bowl of salad of equal calorie.
Also the bread used in a burger is not helping with weight loss.

>> No.10370828

I'd imagine that these chubbies had just been listening to someone talk for an hour telling them not to eat and that food is their enemy so when they waddle out there they'll feel empowered and full of motivation and when they see your food store they'll probably feel the need to vandalize it because it represents the enemy that they just paid good money to fight against. The thing that's making fat.

not the same burger

the ""burger"" in question is laden with sodium and fructose to make it addictive and induce cravings while messing with your hormone production, specifically your two main hunger hormones that tell you when you're full and when to stop eating.

Not had a brick issue so far, in fact, I've been making a healthy profit ridding myself of excess produce while cutting down on waste in the process. And I'm not trying to cheat anyone, I'm honest about my food and put thought and care into my meals. Still need to make a living though and this is serving me well on the side of normal service. I just never saw it as morally reprehensible and needed another pov on the matter.

Is it unethical to park a seafood-oriented food truck outside a Catholic church during Lent?
Because a buddy of mine (and to a much lesser extent, myself) has been making mad dosh doing exactly that.

>> No.10375839

>>10375638
Market goes where the demand is.
It would be better if op's truck exclusively sold health food. But there's potential for OP to use ""healthier"" options to lure them into buying the usual unhealthy money makers. So that's where (I think) this situation might be unethical.

But then again it could serve as a test for them. I mean if they just spent an hour or so complaining about eating too much and then collectively decide to stop doing that then they will be confronted with temptation as soon as they walk out the door. Their first test.
