I think this is the answer to stopping every certified Diet Cheater in America. “What’s that your eating Betty? Oh, a hot fudge sundae? Shame on you, you know better than that.” Or better yet, somebody would actually have to eat that fruit cake your sister-in-law sent you last Christmas. They could be the Fruitcake Police on camera!

Why limit this to the dinner table? This system needs to be installed at every drive-in window in the world.
Attendance of the observers should be made mandatory.
Heck, why not just have everyone on surveillance all the time?
–What’s that, we already are? Maybe we can make our government more efficient and helpful.
The NSA could change from being the National Security Agency to the Nutrition Security Agency. If we eat the wrong foods, a Nutritional Security Agent would visit and set us straight!
