“McDonald’s does not fit the Loma Linda brand of health and wellness”
Then don’t eat there, the World doesn’t revolve around you.

The end result of protecting people from their folly is a world full of fools.
I assume the following does not apply to this community but, why is there not a ban on pre-marital sex, abortions, and homosexuality. Truly, these things are proven to cause long term harm, early death, and cost society huge sums of money. The Progressive/Marxists have got to know that the propaganda machine they have built, could one day be turned against them. One day soon, before this PC stuff is trashed, the true effects of govt rule of personal behavior will be revealed in all its glory.
Place sounds like Nazi central.
Betcha there are many residents of Loma Linda who stop at a McDonalds when they are out of town.
Who then die, just like everyone else. As for me and my house, we'll have a cigar.
Goodness! No one in this town ever dies, I suppose—what with all that healthy living, and all.
It might be interesting to see the death rate there, and the ages of the people when they die. That way, we could see if they are truly on to something.................or not!
Fancy dress?!
Now they've gone too far...
This concern from the LA Times? If they are really concerned about helping people, the LA Times should shut down and quit putting out that vapid dreck that they pass off as news.
You will have a hard time finding a city anywhere in the country that has a more solid conservative voting record than Loma Linda. If your kid is sick Loma Linda Children’s Hospital is on of the best in the world. Leading the world in infant heart transplantation.
A city near us, Rolling Hills Estates, didn’t want fast food, so they made a rule that there can be no drive-up windows. There is still a Burger King, but no window. Perhaps Loma Linda ought to look into that sort of a regulation.
I had the pleasure of working with a Seventh Day Adventist some years ago. She was the one person in the office who absolutely would not gossip, and deflected it so gracefully that you never thought she was being holier-than-thou. I was impressed and humbled.
Loma Linda is also home to the world-class Geoscience Research Institute,

Freepers interested in Creation Science might want to visit.
Loma Linda Children’s Hospital has a Ronald’s McDonald’s House. Just saying.
Is Dr. Dysinger confusing fast food and plutonium?
Loma Linda has always been a world unto itself. Great hospital and citizens of a different sort. There are probably 10 MickyDs within a five mile radius of downtown.
As an aside...if you want a real treat, go to the Loma Linda Market(a vegan mecca) and buy a Chocolate Prune Cake.
Best. Cake. Ever.
I’d rather live in Loma Linda than Dearborn, MI...just sayin’. I’ve known several Seventh Day Adventists. Even though I don’t agree with their view of theology, I thought they were generally very nice people. Being vegan, they need to supplement with B12, but they seem generally healthy otherwise.
Loma Linda is not an isolated community.
It’s city limits abutt San Bernardino and Redlands city limits, and it is NOT empty space devoid of homes and businesses that sits along most of the lines between them.
I have family in the area and they shop in Redlands, Loma Linda and San Bernardino as well as in areas adjoining any two of them. When I am visiting them, depending on the particular location we are in, they often cannot always tell me the answer to: “are we still in Redlands or have we crossed into Loma Lind now” (or vice-a-versa or substitute San Bernbardino in there). Yes each of the three towns do have a paricular “downtown” area, but all the commercial activity is not limited to them and some of the commercial activity is down-right right between them.
I doubt that Loma Linda residents alone would be or even are expected to be the only customers for this McDonalds, anymore than that is the case with other businesses in Loma Linda and anymore than is the shopping habits of Loma Linda residents limited solely to establisments in Loma Linda.
I don’t think the result would be any loss to local property values, no matter what most 7th Day Adventists in Loma Linda themselves thought of McDonalds.
McRib, secret sauce, sweetened drinks, Loma Linda has great medical service. Letur rip!
Shouldn’t somebody call the ACLU? This 7th-day Nanny Statism sounds like an establishment of religion to me!
Nanny State PING!
