| i think they weigh you before and after you eat and charge you the difference. on the downside it rewards bulimics but no system is perfect |

So when you order do you say "I want XX ounces of lobster and XX ounces of vegetable" and they charge you for how much of each food you ordered, or do you pile food on your plate like a buffet and they weigh it and charge a flat rate? |
The latter. |

OR they weight everything separately and charge you a different price for every thing you got.
ex: $5 per pound of rice, 10$ per pound of meat, etc etc |

Really? I've never seen this around here. Sometimes they charge you more per kilo if you eat meat, but that's about it. |

| Right and that's basically what I was asking, if lobster and rice basically costs the same in this system. |

| There was a place in America that would charge the childrens price to children under a certain weight. But, they were sued and went under. |
