Sure it tastes good, but you are right...if he keeps eating it regularly he will become very fat. Oh, the stories I could tell you of our regular customers when I worked there. We had one guy who ordered like four times a week...he was like a blob of skin...probably the fattest guy I have ever seen. You need to deter him somehow, as his health is seriously in jepardy if he eats this stuff all the time.
Good luck to you.

 If he won't be responsible for his own health there is nothing you can do about it. There have been studies which show that the next generation is going to have a whole heap more health problems because of bad diet.
Cancer, heart disease and other problems, it is thought, will become even bigger killers than they are now. The behaviour of kids in some inner city areas, where was a lot of violence, was measured during trials to see what would happen if their diets improved. Needless to say, learning and behaviour improved immeasurably.
What you put in affects what you get out, just like a bank balance. Some people can not see this. Your boyfriend could start a new trend among his peers of eating well, rather than follow the herd. If only it was cool to be fussy about food and less satisfied with rubbish.
Anyway, some people are adventurous and others panic at new things, like old people who can't cope even if they have to change their bus route home. Your boyfriend is old before his time! I had a boyfriend once who was like that and he was not adventurous enough to travel with me around Europe, go to concerts, read, do sport or anything. His attitude to food was reflected in his attitude to life - boring. Hope you can change his mind, but you may have to wait a few years for the fashion to change.
