“A recent Los Angeles Times survey found that 46 percent of restaurants [in South-Central] are fast-food chains, compared with 12 percent on the west side of Los Angeles.”

pch1013 – all this statistic demonstrates is that the people on the West side either have more restaurants in total (equal number of fast food but far more traditional restaurants) or that they simply choose to eat better more often. To suggest that poor people eat poorly because their choices are limited is infantilizing them, a common Liberal tactic.
I’m willing to bet that this piece of nanny state socialism will have absolutely zero impact on the eating habits of the people in the no build zone. None, nada, zip, zilch, zeroooooooooooo.

And as has been written already, just wait until the socialists manage to force government health care on us. Liberals always whine “keep the government out of the bedroom”. Well, good luck. When universal health care is a reality expect the government to be in every room of the house.

Unfortunately for we Conservatives there are no empty frontiers left for us to escape to. Are we about to be enslaved by our own government? The slim majority having voted for socialists to rob from the slim minority, because after all, envy and rejection of personal responsibility is what drives Democrat voters.
