First, from the top of the Democrat Party, we had Howard Dean banning fried food at the Democrat Convention and authorizing only approved food colors. Of course, the caterers correctly thought Dean was a moron, and told him so.
Now the Left Coast chapter of the Fraternal Order of Oral Limitations (FOOL), which enforces food consumption regulations as well as speech control laws, has decided that people in South-Central are too fat and unhealthy so they want a moratorium on any new fast food joints.

I don’t like the liberal food police, but the irony in this one is just delicious. (no bun, er, pun intended)
McDs is a rabidly pro-gay agenda company that is currently being boycotted by our family and thousands of others for their activism.
So, in this case, do two wrongs make a right?
We do eat at home. Yesterday I made and froze 15 pints of applesauce. I have fresh food in the fridge, and I’m gearing up for canning season. Sometimes, though, when you are out and hungry - it’s nice to grab either a gutbomb burger or even a nice salad. They do have those some places, you know.
I don’t think the restaurant should be banned, btw, I was merely commenting on the delicious irony of the FOOL’s cause.
“But researchers and activists praised the strategy as a cutting-edge application of government power to promote health.”

Oh my...
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
-CS Lewis
Attention all nanny-staters.
Told you so.
Sooner or later they are coming for something you like.
Remember?
Happy now in your principal stands?
Try Pasta Roma on Figueroa in the South-Central community of North University Park. They're famous for their salads. Or forsake the fried chicken for an order of collard greens at the Golden Bird on Santa Barbara Ave. at Vermont.
Awh, come on. You can't say that. If people actually believed that, then Jesse and Al would have to abandon their "I'm-a-victim" stance and people might actually have to assume responsibility for their actions.
While I know it's not politically correct to say this (like I give a damn about being PC), but watch the fast food ads on TV, especially McDonald's. They cater to the minority market. While I have no hard statistics to support this, I'd guess that 2/3's of McDonald's ads feature black customers because that's a huge segment of their market base. Yet, Jesse and Al say that blacks have twice the heart problems of white because of lack of health care. Uhh...maybe they should eat better and see what happens to their health before one buys into the Jesse-Al victim hypothesis.
McDonalds sells a lot of stuff you could get fat from. Nonetheless it’s the cheapest place in the world to eat lunch at. The good version of lunch there consists of two or three items from the dollar menu, double-cheese, four-piece chicken mcnuggets and possibly a fudge sunday, and a cup of water which you can invariably and safely fill with sprite, the Spanish-only employees don’t give a rat’s ***. I don’t see anything harmful or unusually fattening in that.
And, of course, I don't eat it all, usually take half home...but alot of people do eat it all...I live in a town that is so overweight that it almost makes me cry when I go into some of these restaurants and buffet style operations. Yes, the word is obscene.
I was in Vegas last week. Don't even get me started.....
I grew up on 12 cent hamburgers and 10 cent fries. I'm 66 and can't remember when there wasn't a McDonald's.
I'm sad about their agenda!
Just saw on the Fox news crawl that Mexico is demanding that we resume importing Mexican tomatoes and clear them of all blame in the salmonella outbreaks. Mexico demands, no less.
Yeah, I take home a lot of left-overs but not all food reheats well.
The biggest offender of huge food, IMO, is Claim Jumper.
Well, in the case of the poor people, we have to hear how they are grappling with poverty and how food stamps don’t cover nessecities of life such as soap, toilet paper, tampax, toothpaste. Then we hear how it’s hard to stretch the food stamps to cover a variety of different foods. So, then we also hear sometimes that with some of the dollar menu type items at these places, that it can be cheaper to feed the kids at fast food places than to buy food at the store and eat at home.
also, we hear how major chain supermarkets tend to avoid the low class neighborhoods where so many poor are clustered, so they have to pay higher prices with their food stamp money. Etc. etc.
What it all should come down to is eating a variety of foods and not overdo unhealthy things like fast food. Which also comes back to personal responsiblity, meaning, don’t eat all the time at fast food, get some exercise, get some fresh fruits and veggies even though you are stretching food stamp money.
It does seem odd that some overweight people are poor. They are apparently not malnourished but are poor.
Liberals only beelieve in free choice when it comes to abortions..
Because carbs are cheap. Noodles, potatoes and such.
