I know freaking out is fun, but this is NOT a moratorium on fast food restaurants. This is a moratorium on NEW fast food restaurants. No one is tearing down restaurants. I still think it’s crazy, but let’s not get our facts wrong.

No, what amuses me here is this will likely receive lots of support–from the fast food chains already in the area! This is GREAT for them! No new competition while the consumer market continues to grow! This is government support of business at its finest! You’d normally need the backing of organized crime to achieve something like this–and the government just HANDS IT TO THEM ON A PLATTER!

Meanwhile, people continue to eat fast food because–gasp!–they WANT to!
