I respect the owner for being honest, you are an adult you make your own choices and you pay the consequences. He did not force you to come to his restaurant.
finally one not irrational comment thank u
Honestly, if you don't want to eat there, then don't. The only person responsible for his death is him.
everyone is a victim these days...nobody can be held accountable for there actions.
But he's so damn heartless about it.
@@workingshlub8861 No, it's the guys fault for eating badly. However, the owner is just so cold, you know. He didn't even seem like a little bit sad that his friend died. That's my anger about him.
Kinda of sucks when your trying to argue a point , and the person is just agreeing with everything you say. lol
lol true
@Cali God same lmao it's the way to make them go away
reporter was getting trolled hard 😂😂😂😂😂
@Cali God the nutritionist is a self-righteous idiot lol
The point is to look what he is doying not what he os saying. He is knowingly killing people because it pays good money.
That "doctor" looks pretty fit!

The owner has absolutely nothing to apologize for. He doesn’t promote obesity, and he doesn’t force people to come. His is simply saying “You can eat at my restaurant but keep in mind, you are doing this to yourself.”

Yup
Walamo ua-cam.com/video/JKqX63rJkHM/v-deo.html
they literally have this restaurant is bad for you on the front door. whilst mc donald’s encourage kids with “happy” meals.
You wouldn’t care if you weighed high enough. Not all people have the same capacity about their diet choices. Not everyone had the same opportunities to educate themselves about nutrition and eating right. Age alone doesn’t make an adult capable of making the right decisions. There’s a lot that goes into how people become obese. Just because people are liable to face consequences for their actions doesn’t mean you accelerate those consequences. That doesn’t help anybody. You can’t just exploit gullible people because not everyone who is gullible deserves to be exploited.
This is literally unethical. Zero argument for this shitty restaurant.
BTMillion That’s like saying we should ban driving because people drink and drive, or ban smoking because it’s bad for you, or ban unprotected sex because you may accidentally have a kid. Your an adult capable of making your own decisions. You are putting all of your effort into trashing the restaurant instead of actually loosing weight

This guy realised that the world doesn't care, he's done the fitness act already and it didn't work, so he's just giving them what they really want, a fat juicy burger with fries and a shake. He even warns then that his food is dangerous and they just keep on coming. Points for his honesty. Humans.....sigh!
You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it eat
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink

he realized natural selection is the only real solution
Honesty? His healthy buisness failed, so he moved to the unhealthy side to make money. If he truly cared, i should've heard that he donates profits to hostpitals, but oh wait, he is directly promoting the very thing he swore to destroy indirectly, so he wouldn't! Do you really think he wants to stop sending this message? He's gonna make money for as long as he can. People think it's funny, not philosophical or enlightening, not so long as people are uneducated.
He's "honest" because he wants to feel like he's promoting his ideals while making money. Took the road most traveled if you ask me.
I can't get mad at this dude. He admitted to every f'n thing!!!
Rok100 1 Exactly that’s why I really don’t blame him much. At least he was honest
Allow people to kill themselves
Rok100 1 just because he admits that he’s an asshole doesn’t make him less of an asshole
@@Vermine_ You can argue with him on a moral level all day and he straight up will agree with you. He doesn't try to hide anything. But the honesty makes some people look at him differently.
Ee-Han Godfrey oh I know he doesn’t care, he has enough money not to care. What i find disturbing is that people praise him for it
Man I love this guy. He’s honest, frank and completely agrees that obesity is bad but wants people to see it for themselves instead of reading it off a book.
He’s doing the wrong thing for the right reason. He makes the customers feel guilty about what they’re eating so they’ll be more health conscious

beavis81 very good point actually I didn't look at it that way sorry
This makes me sad....
I love this owner. Basically, you choose to eat it, you deal with the consequences. Personal responsibility. How refreshing.
You know there are people with eating disorders (bulimia) and medical conditions (diabetes which causes polyphagia) who, when it comes to food, they can't really choose. But you choose to ignore it.
@@therealconniefrancis It's the same with alcohol, so no more alcohol for sale because some people can't control themselfs? Sorry that's not how it works. You are responsible of your own body you can't blame someone else for your wrong doing.
@@marilyn8225 To be fair, they don’t serve free alcohol to every alcoholic like the “free food for a weight over 350 lbs” policy, which is pretty significant in the argument about whether they are taking advantage of people. Nevertheless, they are paying the price for their own choices.
@@marilyn8225 You win the ignorant internet comment of the month award. Matina never blamed anyone else, never said someone else is responsible for another's obesity....she just pointed out that there are verifiable medical/mental issues that cause food to usurp "personal responsibility" and cause a lot of the obesity around us.

The reporter wanted a fight he could televise to get ratings for his show. John Basso diffused it by agreeing with him on every point.
Clearly Basso knows his sales tactics.
This owner was probably a great chef that just eventually said “screw it”
I looked it up. He was a nutritionist and a chef. In his early years he worked for the weight-loss chain Jenny Craig.
But he used to have a hard time getting clients and the clients that he did manage to get never followed his advice.
One day he got fed up and said to himself "If they want to eat unhealthy, I'll give them unhealthy." A year later he opened his first Heart Attack Grill.
How's that for an origin story?

@@thunderdracoGiving morbidly obese people with serious heart conditions a quadruple “BYPASS” burger is about the same as giving a severely mentally unstable person a gun. People really need to start growing some balls and start meddling into other people’s lives a little.
That’s basically the same as a guy buying a gun from a gun store, only for the guy to shoot himself with it when he gets home, then blaming the owner of the gun store for the death.
Also like Remington being blamed for “helping a school shooter”. That specific shooting happened in 2012, 7 years ago at the time whenRemington being blamed.

No one's forcing people to eat there, it's their choice. Honestly this is a genius marketing strategy and it seems to be working, the difference between this guy and the other fast food places is he's honest.
I see why people say that this is wrong, but the thing is those people don't need encouragement to eat like that, they would have eaten that much somewhere else, the doctor guy is simply taking advantage of the path the customers were already on and is using it to try and prevent more obesity. I know I typed this super weird but he is using the shock of the restaurant's existence as a deterent for people who might be teetering on the edge (morbid) obesity and possibly shock people who are already there, out of it. He is sending a message and I commend him for his boldness to tackle a subject a lot of people tiptoe around or sugarcoat.
Right on
Don’t you get it yet? There no such thing as personal responsibility anymore. It’s always somebody’s else’s fault!

Lukas Cochran yep
But it’s like advertising free drinks to alcoholics and free drugs to druggies
Bryan Moreno
No one is born addicted to shoving quadruple cheeseburgers down their throat. This guy tells them to their face “This food will kill you” and they make the choice to proceed regardless. The fact that he offers meals for free to the morbidly obese just goes to prove how lazy, thoughtless and apathetic these people are towards their own health. They don’t seem to have the time to stop and think for 3 seconds about what point they are making when they squeeze through his doors to order his food.
As a crack dealer, I say exactly the same thing.
The restaurant isn't directly responsible, but still has a part of responsibility. First coke killed people and govt made it illegal because it put people in danger. The same happens here : people addicted to something that is harmful to their health, and that is difficult to stop for them.
Btw I find that not very wise to close any further discussion with your "end of story"
I love the owner's demeanor 100%. The interviewer is trying to embarrass him or get a rise from him but he fails every time. Those customers aren't intellectually challenged they know exactly what they're signing up for. I also love how unapologetic and honest he is.

- absolutely correct. If somebody kills themselves by shooting themselves in the head we don't consider the gun shop owner to be responsible for the death. If someone commits suicide by intentionally overdosing on pills we don't blame the drug company. If somebody knowingly and willingly does something which they know might lead to their death that is entirely their choice and their responsibility.

Reporter: *You're not supposed to do that*
Reporter: cut cut cut no damnit your not supposed to say that
No one forced those morons to eat there.
WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THAT LEGAL?
tbh, the owner is close to zero accountability for any casualties caused by his food. There is literally a sign on the door that says "Eating here is bad for your health". Not to mention the whole hospital theme of the restaurant, like screaming at you that "if you eat here, you WILL be hospitalized". I'm glad the owner is honest too, giving out straight answers and owning up to the stigma around his restaurant. If he gets rich because of his restaurant, then seriously I say to him: Well played and good job.
What about Mcdonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC, Popeyes and those other places?
Aren't they a same as well though?
“We have passed the point of no return in heart attack grill. We have blood on our hands.” This honesty can stun any reporter. No backpedalling whatsoever.
Not really….you choose to eat there its on you same with smoking and drugs & drinking life’s all about decisions at any moment ya can give up shitty food & reset your lifestyle but Americans are lazy
Ya.. Same man
That argument didn't make sense to me. The owner qualified of "immoral" putting an end to the business under the excuse of "we have already done damage, so it doesn't matter anymore." Surely, what the business has done is bad, but that's why it must stop...
Think it like this:
A serial killer believes that is unethical to stop killing people because he did it in the past.
It's just stupid. A better (honest) way to put the phrase would be: "I'm beyond redemption since I don't feel remorse; furthermore, I don't want to change."
Los Pollos Hermanos
@@apathei.a Well that's the thing, he isn't responsible for anyone's choice to eat their. So he isn't directly killing ppl like a serial killer, so that analogy doesn't work.

McDonald's does the same thing at 1000000 times the scale yet they only pay attention when the name is heart attack grill. Owner is genius.
um McDonald’s is no where near to the level of this one , 19,000 a meal vs 300-900 are very different , health wise both are unhealthy , but the heart attack grills allows no vegetables while McDonald’s does , you have to weigh 350 to eat for free , they promote obesity while McDonald’s doesn’t ,McDonald’s is like any other fast food place but this is over the top , everything is good in moderation and you can treat yourself but this is *too much*

Not to mention the name of the place.
Hamza Jabr - If meth was legal, then yes.
The cigarette industry does exactly that. It is up to the consumer to make the choice. I bet you no farther than a mile away from this place, there is something much healthier. The producer of such goods is not to blame, for it is the consumer that makes the choice whether or not to consume.

IF ok, if you were to ask me Its not really the heart attack burger owners fault cause He's being very honest. He's not lying or anything i mean its in the name too, "heart attack burger". So its the customers fault. cause they obviously don't have to go and eat there they could of gone somewhere else and eat somewhere else
like us, you, me and that guy there is just here talking about nonesense when we of course didn't really have to be here to and talking. :P
one more thing - you might be saying like, well he didn't have to build this restaurant well suck it up cry baby cause Its already been built its not like you can go back to the past and say hey don't build that. So lets focus on the present cause obviously we can't just randomly make a time machine yet. To me I think these people who goes there just want to eat nothing more nothing less. Its your responsibility to take care of yourself and its their responsibility to take care of themself. am I wrong.

The owner is a very VERY smart rather sadistic murderer. He has found away to channel his inner darkness and murderous intent,in a way that kills or maims just enough people that he can be satiated. He gets away with it because of the thought process that drives your comment. It's called Plausible deniability. It goes like this.
"Iv'e never killed anyone officer. i'm just the owner of a legit business establishment.. I didn't give the addict the drug forcefully. I just hired people to give the addict as much as they wanted whenever they want in as high a dosage as they want,even if it kills them. If they do it officer thats their fault."
In fact theres a movie about a killer who does the same..its called SAW. after all jigsaw didn't kill the people in his "games" he gave them away out.
CallOfKarren BoomerOps what, how could he be considered a murderer? It’s their choice to want to eat there, they can easily choose to eat like a salad or something but they choose to eat an artery clogging burger. While I do admit this guy is a little shady, I wouldn’t escalate to calling him a secret murderer.
Give meth to meth heads to, addiction is a choice
@@thisisanoutdatedmeme6529 well, I think that that he was trying to imply that he is a murderer because he basically enbales them to kill themselves. Its like giving a gun to a suicidal person, knowing they are going to kill themselves. The owner may not be the legal definition of a murderer, but still, that guy is an asshat nonetheless.
Funny that over eating is only a western thing
Nobody is forcing people to eat there. The restaurant is litterally called "Heart Attack" ... people should know the consequences of eating there.
Preach!
Well if he didn't provide free food to people over 350 lb you might have a point but provide riding free foods people with eating disorders makes him a murderer. He needs to change that policy he actually should be shut down for that policy it wasn't for that policy then he's just a low-down scumbag. He's he's like a drug dealer so but because he provides it for free he's killing people so he can have fun rotting in hell I hope they indict him
@Nate Gardner they might be facts if he didn't offer the free food to people over 350 lbs that makes them complicit in their deaths he should be in jail

Look its down to free will. If you want to consume food that will kill you then go ahead, at the end of the day its your fault nobody else's.
