... empty __________plates_____________ !

for a change, think : no food for thought...!
i'm sure we've all commented or atleast secretly thought about restaurants that serve empty plates!
for no price at all you can see this in a commercial

but for $20 + you will get this...

go figure.
{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَنفِقُواْ مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ الأَرْضِ وَلاَ تَيَمَّمُواْ الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِآخِذِيهِ إِلاَّ أَن تُغْمِضُواْ فِيهِ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ} albaqarah.

Seriously now, the more expensive a restaurant, the less food you receive. Its one of those things that society/media molded to make it seem normal and accepted.
Now, you can get a lot of food for a couple of dollars in fast food restaurants... but its not quality food.

The first is an example of greed, and the second is lack of 'ihsaan' (excellence).

اتق الله ولو بشق تمرة!
من غشنا فليس منا!
