"Beautiful" People Eat Free?

So "beautiful" people eat free now? Um, excuse me?

A restaurant in Zhengzhou, China, is experimenting with allowing customers to pay with a new form of currency, their beauty. Reported by China's official news agency, this restaurant uses a "face scanner" and takes a picture of customers before they are seated. Their appearances are then judged by a panel of "experts," who are actually plastic surgeons that the restaurant has some sort of joint promotion agreement with. Those who meet the standards set by the "experts" eat at the restaurant, called Jeju Island, for free.

Makes you wonder how anyone can still be hungry after hearing about the deal, barfing seems like the most appropriate response.

In the city of Zhengzhou, local authorities were not impressed and took down an advertisement saying "Free meal for the goodlooking." Despite the advertisement being taken down, restaurant owners said that the promotion will continue.

If you happen to be in Zhengzhou and you're hungry, the word is that protruding foreheads are considered an advantage among the judges. Good to know there's one place in galaxy where Klingons can get a free meal.

But this really upsets me. How could people do this? So many people have a negative self-image, why are they doing this? Outward beauty is all a matter of opinion. Never let an "expert" tell you that you are not beautiful. Especially if it is based only on your appearance. You appearance isn't even what makes you beautiful. It's how you think, how you act, what you say. All those things make you beautiful. If you are beautiful on the inside, then you most certainly are gorgeous on the outside.
