Signs for fast food restaurants are seen on a street in Los Angeles on Monday, July 28, 2008. In South Los Angeles, fast food is also the easiest cuisine to find, and that's a problem for elected officials who see it as an unhealthy source of calories and cholesterol. There is a swath of the city where a proliferation of such eateries goes hand in hand with more fat adults and chunky children than other areas of Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Matt Sayles)
In Culinary no-no #64, I wrote that blaming, and then banning, fast food restaurants in an effort to combat obesity is foolish. But that’s exactly what the Los Angeles City Council did.
Today the vote was unanimous to have a one-year moratorium on the opening of fast food restaurants in a certain section of the city. How utterly stupid.
Details from the LA Times and MSNBC.
