Greed

Greed is not a good thing.  When a person decides that the more they have the better, this is part of gathering wealth.  We must remember the time when we were children and the teacher or our parents would say to "share" or "play nice."  Having everything or being mean is not positive strategy.  A person walks into an "all you can eat buffet" and tries to eat as much as they can, to cover the price they paid to get in the buffet.    When we exhibit greed, showing that we want everything for ourselves, people tend to be turned off and become leery of being in our company.  

When you are in an "all you can eat buffet", theoretically you can sit in the restaurant and eat all you want without limit from the establishment, other than the hours of operation.  I remember being at a buffet and next to my table is a family with their plates stacked very high, empties on one side and those waiting to be eaten on the other.  I would look at these people and think, wow! How much can these people eat.  A restaurant that decides to be classified as "all you can eat", is looking to attract customers with the idea of giving value for their money.  

When the buffet restaurants have customers that eat more than normal, the profit margin becomes smaller and causes the establishment to rethink its price point.  

In business, when a company tries to corner the market in whatever it is they are producing, in some ways is called free enterprise and in other way it is viewed a pure greed.   When business is concentrated by one person or a small group, then others trying to be in the same field will be edged out causing price wars and limiting variety and slowly reducing profits and forcing cutbacks.  Eventually, either the small guy is edged out or bought by the bigger competitor. 

On the other hand when a person goes to "all you can eat" buffet's, their health will begin to deteriorate in the form of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity or any number of food related disorders. 

Eating too much of anything causes the human body to react in different ways that are detrimental.  Fat around the liver an hinder it from  processing blood in an efficient manner.  Fat buildup around the heart causes high blood pressure or heart disease.

When business competes in a free economy,  prices stay low for a while and the consumer benefits.  On the other hand, with low prices and competition, workers are laid off and eventually, businesses go out of business because of cutbacks so sharp that it does not pay to produce.   The only person that benefits is the consumer from competition and price cutting.  Even the public sometimes cannot catch up to the competing producers.  Too many choices make things less profitable because people end up with redundant products and services.

 Eat Like Human At The All You Can Eat Buffet.

Be Fair Compete But Do Not Put Each Other Out Of Business.
