This whole ordeal reminds me why I'm happy I'm not living in LA anymore. It smacks of irresponsible government and ignorant lawmakers who are simply trying to find a non-solution to a real problem simply so they look good. We are fat because we eat too much and don't exercise enough; keeping fast food out of South Central isn't going to fix that problem, it just means that the residents are going to have to go farther out of their way to eat their Big Macs.

@ Cynth: I'm disappointed. While Carl's Jr. may be awesome -- Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger being their greatest creation -- everyone knows that In-N-Out is where it's at.
