Where else but California?
"In a proposal that is stunning in both its ignorance and arrogance, a South Central Los Angeles politician wants to place a moratorium on the construction of new fast food restaurants in her area.
"What is unfortunately not nearly as surprising is how Washington Post reporter Karl Vick let some huge, uh, whoppers go by without challenge when he covered this development."
So, in effect, the existing franchisees stand to make a great deal more money. Sweetheart deal, perchance?
The councilwoman in question says children are obese from eating too much fast food. Is some evil cabal forcing them? The Illuminati? Karl Rove? She says there are not enough choices to find nutritious food. As commenters pointed out, there are several supermarkets in the area. Cooking? What a novel concept! Besides, fast-food restaurants DO serve some nutritious food (salad, yogurt, etc.). She wants to take away choice so that there will be more choice available? Ouch -- I need a Band-Aid for my brain.
What a twit.
