Re: Los Angeles wants to impose a moratorium on fast food
Reading your article reminded me about something I found on NPR's website few days ago, where it talked about a family that is so poor that can't afford to buy meat and have very little money to live on. There's a picture of the mother and daughter both obese!!! I was all confused reading about these people being poor and obese.
Normally one thinks about poor people as being slim, skin and bones, but not in a well developed country, where you get in a fast food place limited amount of soda, chips,
Sugar water is the cheapest thing.
Funny how it has changed. Few decades ago it was almost a "status symbol" to be a bit "chubby", meant one is doing good.
I'm glad to hear that a city gets involved and makes such a decision. We are rushed to eat, to live, are pushed every day to be faster and faster, and to eat food that tastes like food, but it's mostly something that just resembles to it, that must be flavored. To me these restaurants just can't improve their menu they will be still the same fast food despite their salads and milk added to their kids menu. I don't mean to insult anyone, that's just my personal opinion.
One more thing I never understood, lunch plus milk. There's something so odd about it.
If the digestive system could talk it would shout.
