LOL ! Nutritionally I totally agree with you, but think you may have misinterpreted the intent of the poster. He/she may have only meant to post "news" of a new construction, not asking for advice on what he/she should, or should not, eat. Couple personal observations: USA in general is crazy for "fast food" regardless of levels of sodium, fat, etc. etc., children seem to be raised on such foods (even in school cafeterias), and seniors also love it (Villagers get VERY excited about any new fast food option ! As I opened with, I TOTALLY agree with your advice, but honestly, I think you/I are definitely in the minority. Why do I believe that ? Horrifying increases in over weight and obese individuals in every state, increased rates of diabetes that have now reached 1 in every TWO over weight children will develop diabetes as adults, an unreal percentage of individuals on high blood pressure meds, growing problem with school age children with high blood pressure, ....kind of makes you wonder if there is some "root cause" accelerating all this sick/unhealthy trend ?
