Comments on: L.A. Ban Takes Aim At Fast Food

To Battle Obesity, City Wants To Block New Fast-Food Eateries That Don't Offer Less Fatty Fare

Fast food is not cheap. You can go to the grocery store and buy a pound of frozen veggies for under $1.30. Raw unprepared chicken is also cheap per pound. Get off your butts and turn on that thing called a stove. But I agree the government has no right to dictate what we can and can''t eat.

If California bans all plastic bags...what are the drug dealers going to package their drugs in?

California....the land of earthquakes, wildfires and big brother. Paradise indeed!

Education will lead to less business for fatty fast food businesses so, there''s no need to mess with market forces. This just seems dictatorial to me. If people want to eat fatty food, so be it but, forcing fatty food stores out is contrary to the whole concept of free enterprise. Just educate people and let them make the decision to keep those businesses or not with the power of the purse is what I say.

If they are so concerned with people''s health, let''s start with the cost of health care. Then let''s go to the quality of air we breathe. People are going to eat what they want, they just need to be motivated to get their butts off the couch, chair, whatever, and MOVE. Exercise, people!!! Remember when you were a child (in the 50''s and 60''s) before video games, computer games and all night TV? Playing outside, riding bikes, playing kick ball, playing with your friends??? We weren''t overweight then (or at least not so much) and McDonald''s was around. Ice cream stands and hot dogs, cotton candy, soda and all the stuff they tell us now that it''s bad for us. What is the difference between then and now? We Moved!!!

Oh wait, liberals love Starbucks. And cigarettes.



How true. The liberals will demonize an activity (such as smoking) so they can justify suing the manufacturers, and taxing the *** out of it, all the while taking part in the activity ,(is Obama still a closet smoker)look at hollywood. They want to make smoking in movies a reason for a PG13 rating, but how many of the "stars" smoke? Total hypocricy.

ubrew. Are you going to site the source of your stats?
Didn''t think so...

We understand that caffeine is bad for you in large quantities. Time to start shutting down Starbucks to save people from that coffee that does so much harm.

Oh wait, liberals love Starbucks. And cigarettes.
