This is too funny! The stupid city council trying to curb weight gain by residents instead of fixing freaking pot holes has been an epic fail.
Governments at all levels should take note but they won't because some left wing looney tune elected official like a Bloomberg always thinks that they can run your life better than you can.
Here's the results of their "we know what's best for you" law. When I saw this headline coffee shot out my nose.
Ban on new fast food results in a 12% RISE in obesity in South Los Angeles
Obesity rates in South Los Angeles grew by 12 per cent over three years despite a much-hailed ban on new fast food restaurants, research had found.
Before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63 per cent of residents in the area reported being overweight or obese compared to 57 per cent in other parts of the county.
But three years on, instead of the law curbing weight gain, the opposite trend took force.
In 2011 75 percent of South Los Angeles residents reported being overweight or obese, while rates elsewhere only increased by one per cent.
