Much too much

We went out for lunch today. For dessert I selected ‘Belgian waffle with Neapolitan ice-cream.’ What was delivered must have had enough calories in it to keep a herd of elephants energetic enough to run a marathon. It was an inch-thick, eight-inch square waffle, with a large (and I mean LAAARRRGGGEEE) scoop of chocolate, a large scoop of vanilla and a large scoop of strawberry ice-cream, all covered in hot chocolate sauce, and then (because that wasn’t indulgent enough, obviously) it had a crumbled Flake drizzled over the top of it as well. I think I’ll be on a sugar rush for a decade. 
No wonder they keep saying people are getting fatter and tooth decay is getting worse. Why is all this necessary????? Why aren’t these places being shut down, or forced to limit the amount of chocolate products that can be used in one helping? I mean, at least cut it down to ONE mega-sugary ingredient per bowl rather than the 12 or so I had plonked down in front of me at lunchtime. 
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I ate it all, but really………….
