LA blocks new ghetto fast food joints

[Zoomie1980]

fast food is cheap. it is also extremely unhealthy. often people dont have time to make their own food, or they cant afford to get an oven or pots and pans, etc, to make their own food. the only choice left is mcD's

Low income folks are their own worst enemies more than any other group. A major reason they "can't afford' to eat healthy is they waste money on bad habits like smoking. The overwhelming majority of smokers are low income. They tend to have higher incidents of other expensive vices like drug or alcohol addiction and they tend to buy gas guzzling vehicles and maintain them poorly. Of course it are these bad life choices that cause them to be low income in the first place so no surprise they have so many issues working against them.

Because the control freaks want to be the overseer and mandate... if the community wants, accepts, and supports it... they will.. if not, the place will go out of business anyway

The control freaks are the big corporations who have the power to decide where they they will set up business and what small local businesses they will put out of business. And once they've done that, they are the ones who get to decide they will charge higher prices in poor neighborhoods and people will just have to pay the prices and eat what they are offered.
