McDonald’s to Open Restaurant in America’s Healthiest City
26th January 2012
Loma Linda, California, which has no off licence and has been tobacco free for three decades, has one of the best longevity rates in the world.
Better than the Circassians in the Caucasus, who drink and smoke freely? I don’t think so.
Half of its 23,000 population are Seventh-day Adventists, many of whom practice vegetarianism and eschew alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine.
Guess it’s not a problem for them, then, is it?
Critics of the McDonald’s plan include doctors at the Loma Linda University Medical Center. Dr Wayne Dysinger, head of preventive medicine, told the Los Angeles Times: “Loma Linda is sort of a symbolic city for healthiness.
“McDonald’s does not fit the Loma Linda brand of health and wellness.
I love the way doctors feel entitled to force people to live as the doctors would wish. If they could lock us up in specimen cages and feed us nothing but nutritionally balanced pellets, they would.
But other Adventists disagree and say the government should not force people to avoid McDonald’s food if they want to eat it.
Gee, that sounds an awful lot like what America is all about.
Mayor Rhodes Rigsby, an Adventist vegetarian, said it was not up to the authorities to “keep people from harming themselves”.
Gee, that sounds to me like what the former Soviet Union (and modern Obamerica) is all about. Somebody get this guy a brown shirt.
