In a 32-square mile chunk of Los Angeles, obesity rates for adults are at 30%, compared to 21% in the rest of the city, and 25.6% in the rest of the country.  Their solution to the problem?  Well, rather than educate their citizens about healthy living through eating right and exercise, they want to ban any more fast food chains from opening.

That’s right, despite the fact that there are already about 400 fast-food restaurants in the area, they’re going to solve the problem by preventing more from entering.  Despite the fact that it is NOT the fast food industry making people fat–it’s morons who repeatedly eat loads of crap when going to fast food joints (and other places), without bothering to do some basic exercise along the way. 

But, in today’s United States, we need the government to step in and protect us from our own stupidity.  Seriously, did these people ever step back and think maybe this is how humans got to the top of the food chain in the first place, with the strong surviving and the rest falling by the way side?

Nothing says Patriotism like a ton of cheese, carved into a rendition of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  Especially with an ad for Cheez-It right on the front–I’m pretty sure that was one of the biggest contentions of the whole debate.  Jefferson was a Cheez-It guy, but Ben Franklin wanted Cheetos.  And John Hancock wanted one of those big tubs of cheeze balls from Sam’s Club.
