you can eat healthier and cheaper than fastfood. just go get some beans rice chicken breast oatmeal potatoes apples tomatoes... none of that is expensive. I have a friend whose family of three eats for a whole month with $40
Although I must admit you would have to cook a lot more.
its not even just the minority that have this problem or even big cities. my husband is a vegetarian and has been for over 11 years. To get his food we have to drive almost 3 hours to get good healthy food because we live in such rural area. if you dont kill it its not food. its so hard to be healthy and a vegetarian around here.
We have the same thing in our city. (Halifax Nova Scotia)
All the fast food in in the condo/ mass sales areas and not in the downtown or residencial areas. It works great, because real food establishments have a chance to thrive.
And we get to eat real food.
But the best thing about downtown is the farm/ food market every sat. Every city needs one. Real food at great prices.
And instead of restricting competition why doesn't she try to promote it by trying to get a store like whole foods there by giving them the incentive of tax credits. These liberals are so fucking stupid and are completely destroying all american value. I'm 15 and i could do better than most the idiots in congress. I'm sick of these ass holes spending and spending thinking theres not going to be consequence. Well large debt of great countries is what leads to their down fall. Read history
I don't know the nature of the LA County legislature, and neither do you. It may be that she doesn't have the power to award tax credits.
You just complained about govt spending, right after you made an argument for having the govt spend money awarding tax credits (because that is essentially what happens, you award a tax credit and the lost revenue has to come from elsewhere.)
You should read history too.. kudos on trying to learn, but don;t take these internet econ/poli videos at face value.
it's not the government's job to tell you what you can and can't eat. She basically said more government interference in the free market, which is one of the reasons why were in this economic mess right now. it's also why are health insurance is so bad, because the government won't let health insurance trade between state lines. So it's like safe auto gets Ohio and gieco gets Indiana, Theres no competition and they can do what ever they want with out fear of loosing business. Ron Paul 2012
I'm sure the future will design machines to do all the work for us. Soon McDonalds, Burger KIng, KFC, (you name it!) will be no diffrent than a vending machine.
good video. i think it should've tackled the issue of cost more however. especially how much it would cost a person to stay alive who has diabetes, heart disease, and all other bad things that comes with a lifetime of fast food.
...Shut the fuck up. Yeah, I bet if we feed the criminals whole foods they'll become productive citizens. This has gone on for generations. A teenage criminal gives birth to a future criminal, who will create another criminal. It has NOTHING to do with what they eat.
Wait a second! I live in the same community. the facts are skewed here. There are many small mom and pop grocery stores with healthy foods. Their prices are more reasonable than Whole Foods. These stores are generally owned by Hispanics. Also, there is no mention of exercise in this video....oh wait, there are probably no gyms in South central and running on the street will get you arrested. Bogus coverage.
i can see this shit here on the native american rezavations too... these fucking grocery stores here are fucking sick... selling nothing but junk food!!!! another way to get rid of the native americans...
I love Lea's passion and her believes. But her and Perry's new law won't help. It doesn't add any new food choices, it only limits the bad ones. Plus, it doesn't address the real problem.
You need to change the hearts and minds of the ppl in the community. That is VERY hard to do. Fast foods biggest appeal is that it's fast. Good is almost an irrelevant question to most ppl with little money.
I wish I knew how to change ppl's minds, but I gotta admire the ppl who try.
@boots920 Did you know people have done the same thing as Supersize Me and actually lost weight and gotten a healthier cholesterol count? It's all in the choices you make
Stay strong, girl. We've got your back =)

Restriction on fast food. That's a good idea.
We have the same thing in our city. (Halifax Nova Scotia)
