Ban all high-capacity plates (anything over 5" in diameter) because they make people fat.

Created by D.P. on December 27, 2012

Obesity is the 2nd leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. The only reasonable solution to this problem is to ban all high-capacity plates. There is no reason for anyone to have possession of a plate bigger than 5 inches in diameter!

More than one-third of U.S. adults are obese. Heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S., which is a condition related to obesity.

In 2008, medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion. Banning high-capacity plates will cut healthcare costs!

Obesity isn't racist! Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rates of obesity (49.5%) compared with Mexican Americans (40.4%), all Hispanics (39.1%) and non-Hispanic whites (34.3%)

Your signature will help America lose weight! High-capacity plates are making people fat!
