Nice Restaurants: The Only Luxury for the Poor

Tim riffs on why fancy restaurants are the one place the poor and fat can't legally be kept out of, tying it into being raised by boomers on fast food poison and the shame-based marketing of things like the salad shaker.
- Going to a nice restaurant is the only luxury the government cannot legally stop poor people from enjoying.
- Tim argues almost nobody is actually happy being fat, despite fat-acceptance messaging from wealthy influencers.
- The confidence-displaying fat people are millionaires, not poor people struggling on public transportation.
- Boomer parents fed their kids poison as the fast food generation, in a way current children are not.
- Early fast food chains didn't even offer salad options, showing they weren't hiding shame about the food.
- Food itself is a luxury for poor people—even a nice steak and baked potato represents attainable indulgence.
- Even upscale restaurants like Nobu cannot legally keep poor people out or beat them up in a back room—yet.
