Free Market at its best!

Yesterday I wrote about government forcing good intentions on the people of NY. I also said if the people are health conscious, restaurants that serve unhealthy food would not survive. Here is the proof

McDonald's forced to shut from lack of patronage in healthy town
McDonald's is closing its outlet in a town known for quality food and healthy, local produce.

The fast food chain in Tavistock, Devon, simply wasn't being used enough by locals.

So after seven years struggling to make ends meet in a town that has won many accolades for the quality of its food, McDonald's will finally shut up shop on Saturday.

John Taylor, chairman of Tavistock EatWise campaign, said: "Because of the quality of our local food McDonald's has not been able to compete."

A McDonald's spokesman said: "As part of an ongoing review of our restaurant sites, it has become clear that the location of McDonald's in Tavistock is no longer suitable."

Being fat is the byproduct of poor life choices. It is easier to point fingers at the a big business because getting out of the chair to fix their lives might be just too much work.
