The author overlooks one thing. Liberal states like California will simply make Momentum Machines illegal.

They might do it for (bogus) “food safety” reasons. Or they might do it for “social justice” reasons. Whatever.

As a side story, I remember when self-service gas stations first started appearing in my area. Some politicians tried to ban them on the grounds that they were unsafe.

Still is illegal in Oregon and New Jersey. Amazed that they expect their population to be less capable than other states.

They could. But like with the minimum wage thing, they will just create a large "food desert" as fast food chains may decide to leave rather then maintain loss leader locations.
