SHEAD, TRACY (1976 - ) Glutton. Barred from the Star of India's Wednesday ‘all you can eat' buffet after embarking upon a series of three hour lunches over the course of which she devoured quantities consistent to parties of four, Sneddon, a local councillor, took legal action, accusing the restaurant of false advertising and injury to her reputation and feelings. When her claims were dismissed, she organised a campaign of harassment against the restaurant, sending groups of accomplices to consume such unreasonable quantities that the staff were compelled to pull down the buffet shutters. Armed with the testimonials of her fellow gluttons, Ms Shead argued that the 'All you can eat' gimmick was a sham and that the Star of India pursued a policy of discrimination against 'over-sized' people.
