Don't know what to make of this story - apparently the City of Los Angeles wants to ban any new fast-food restaurants in South Los Angeles for one year. The city cites the poor health and fitness of residents of that neighborhood and the unhealthy nature of fast food as the rationales for the proposed moratorium.
On the one hand, the city should be looking out for the health and welfare of its citizens. But how can they infringe upon the rights of fast-food companies? How can they dictate what people eat? As the article notes, if the residents of that area wanted different food, wouldn't more "healthy" restaurants be there?
This may be going too far down the slippery slope.
