Have you noticed that average restaurant meal is becoming less and less healthy and good meal becoming more and more expensive. Have you noticed that most restaurants don't have table clothes anymore?

Affordable Mealcare Act?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I have a solution: Eliminate public housing, which is plainly unconstitutional.

Have you noticed that average restaurant meal is becoming less and less healthy and good meal becoming more and more expensive.

Nope, and I haven't really cared because I don't go to restaurants.

[Fledermaus]

Geez, they have too much time on their hands.

[SZonian]

They’re selling what is in demand...

[gaijin]

TRADER JOE’S tried to locate in their neighborhoods, and that’s pretty healthy, by comparison.

The Minority Leaders told them their store would GENTRIFY the neighborhood, and that they would attract PEOPLE NOT OF TRADITIONALLY OPPRESSED BACKGROUNDS:

“Honkies will come for dat stuff, so GET LOST...!”

Locate there? They hate you.

Don’t locate there? They hate you.

No tablecloths is kid friendly in the restaurant world.

Went to our senior center....Maybe $2 for lunch.....awful, awful, awful....And this is in a very well to do town.

Have you ever noticed that “affordable housing” is filled with drunks, druggies, losers, and morons whom you could give a personal chef to and unlimited healthy goods and they would still eat crap?

You can lead a Section 8 Housing troll to a grilled chicken salad, but you can make it eat it.

Or possibly fast food locates in poor neighborhood because they’re, A. cheaper, and, B. what the people there want to eat.

Do these people seriously think there’s a hidden demand for a Sweet Tomatoes in the hood? If so, they should open one and make a mint.

[KarlInOhio]

Quick, open up a Spago near every housing project.

[Still Thinking]

Typical liberal “Businessman as villain” bull$shit. Apparently they think these villainous businessmen are too stupid to figure out, despite their obvious greed (since they have jobs instead of working for the gummint), that people from public housing are craving healthy Obama-wafers, but insist on selling them crap instead, even though they could get a premium (for the neighborhood) by giving people what they want. D’oh! Liberals are such tools.

[autumnraine]

And Freepers wonder why poor people are obese.

[BenLurkin]

How about letting resturants give customers what they want?

[paint_your_wagon]

When money is tight my family doesn’t eat at any kind of restaurant. We only eat out if we have a little extra cash in the budget, AND we if choose to spend it in that manner. Food prepared at home can be very inexpensive and very good. Restaurant meals, even “cheap” fast food items, are a luxury. All I can say is poor people have poor ways.

[FoxInSocks]

How about restricting EBT use to legitimate necessities.

[Jack Hammer]

Here’s a thought: if you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

This has made my personal daily list of  'Stories which, upon reading, peg the indifference meter'

[SharpRightTurn]

Maybe the author can team up with Moochelle and open up an arugula and tofu stand in one of these developments and see how well they do in the “food deserts”.

[Cyber Liberty]

The article compares apples to oranges. It’s comparing relative quality and advertising of fast food joints with sit-down restaurants. You find more of the former and less of the latter in slum neighborhoods because that’s what the market there dictates, one can hardly blame the restaurants for that.

But blame them they shall because it’s what class-warfare leftists do.

The researchers observed that about 75 percent of entrées served at restaurants located near housing developments contained too many calories and fats and not enough fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Katie Heinrich, a Kansas State University assistant professor of blah blah blah

The "researchers" should tell us about the other 25% of entrées and stop pushing the deadly food pyramid. Mengele would be so proud of Katie Heinrich.
