This idea would tap into people's complex relationship to food, health, diets, guilt, etc... Have a restaurant that serves all manner of foods, from low-cal to indulgent, and the cost is always the same: one cent a calorie.
If you order steamed veggies and a turkey wrap, you get a nice healthy lunch
for a good price, under 5 bucks.
If you want to indulge in a slice of cheesecake, pay 16.00 for it, and maybe the cost will help assuage your guilt.
I bet people would eat there, and order enough of the "bad" stuff to make the place money.

I think there should be supermarkets like this. You purchase "calories" for cash when you enter, and then you can "spend" them throughout the store based on package labels. |

Well, the trouble with a store is that, really, it's not cost-effective for makers/sellers of low-cal items to make pennies on the dollar for their normal prices. I figured in a restaurant setting, especially with the right theme-y PR spin, it would all work out and the business as a whole would survive based on the novelty factor of paying 20 bucks for dessert. |

I seem to recall a similar post to this, but can't find it. btw, there is a *restaurant* category.

It will probably come as no surprise, but when you analyze the nutritional content of the food in a supermarket, the cheapest foods have the highest calorie content and lowest nutritional value. That's why our poor are getting so fat and unhealthy. |

So, if you could find a way to make the "healthy" foods at the supermarket the cheapest ones, you would be doing the whole nation a favor. |

I like that spin, but turthully I feel guilty
enough eating deserts why do I need to
break my bank account as well? It will
only
add to my severe and unadulterated
depression. |

"How much is the lard
sandwich?"
"Seventeen ninety nine"
"and the caviar?"
"Six eighty a
pound"
"OK, give me two pounds of
the caviar and a sack of truffles, please.
Keep the change." |

This wouldn't be good for me... |
