Los Angeles wants to take bite out of fast food

La-la land's solution.

"In the impoverished neighborhood of South Los Angeles, fast food is the easiest cuisine to find — and that's a problem for elected officials who see it as an unhealthy source of calories and cholesterol.

The City Council was poised to vote Tuesday on a moratorium on new fast-food restaurants in a swath of the city where a proliferation of such eateries goes hand-in-hand with obesity."

Bull.

There is no cause and effect relationship. There is an association.

And rich people get fat, too.

The problem is not fast-food. The problem is not gradual-food. The problem is not poverty. The problem is not wealth.

The problem is more Calories in than out, no matter the source or income bracket.

"'Our communities have an extreme shortage of quality foods,' City Councilman Bernard Parks said."

The problem is also moron politicians who do not recognize the real problem.

"The aim of the yearlong moratorium, which was approved last week in committee, is to give the city time to try to attract restaurants that serve healthier food."

There are no "healthy" foods, only healthy eating.

But there are idiots in charge.
