- ceejayoz 8y agoThe real problem with what you said is probably the visit frequency of your average Costco customer. It's not likely to be the place you go often enough to get unhealthy off the hot dogs - the whole point is stocking up on items in bulk. A hotdog a month isn't going to make you need blood pressure or cholesterol meds.
- aviv 8y agoThat is a huge misconception. Many people use Costco as a frequent take out food place. Pizza and hotdogs. In my kids class alone I know of several parents who often pass by Costco on the way from school to feed kids dinner there. It's done far more often than you think.
- chillwaves 8y agoIf CostCo didn't exist do you think their eating habits would improve?
- onetimemanytime 8y ago>>Panda Express and Five Guys are also well-liked by the customers who get sick consuming their products. Free will. You may become e vegan, but I want to eat meat products and drink beer. I will bear any consequences, if any, just like that person that doesn't exercise.
- aviv 8y agoI agree. Adults have free will. I cringe though every time I see an adult feed their kids such nasty disease forming foods. Borderline child abuse.
- wtfreally 8y agoHow is Panda Express a "disease-forming food" Is all Chinese food "disease forming", in your downvoted opinion?
- spraak 8y ago> in your downvoted opinion? I think this is going against the rules or etiquette of HN
- SirYandi 8y agoI have to agree with you that feeding children excessive (or even moderate) amounts of unhealthy food is essentially cruel and abusive. Either the adult doesn't know better, or is just taking the easy option. It really upsets me to see overweight children. Giving them a whole swathe of mental and physical health issues before they've even gotten started with life.
- wtfreally 8y agoHow do you get sick eating Panda Express? You can get veggies and noodles in addition to meat there...
- pasquinelli 8y agofood is scary and dangerous and it'll make you sick in subtle, imperceptible ways that'll eventually kill you. i just don't even bother with the stuff anymore tbh.
- emodendroket 8y agoI haven't been to one in quite a while but my impression is that there is lots of added sugar in all the sauces they use, in addition to a lot of fried food.

- veebat 8y agoMany of the sauces are sweet, and the recipes tend to incorporate every major food allergen you can think of. I still visit regularly because you can opt out one portion at a time: You can go half-and-half veggies and chow mein, broccoli beef, mushroom chicken and have something a bit plain, but far more balanced than most fast food. And while the service model is extremely scripted and doesn't accommodate larger orders gracefully, my average time from getting in line to finished service is faster than Mcdonald's and more consistent since the order is put together right in front of you.
