The measure will go to the full council for a vote next month. It will be interesting to see if there is any long-term good that will come of this. One key is to replace prospective fast food establishments with healthier options. The plan is to encourage that. How, I&#8217;m not sure.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/drive-thru.jpg\" title=\"drive thru\" alt=\"drive thru\" align=\"right\" height=\"300\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I&#8217;ve always been amazed that healthy fast food businesses haven&#8217;t spread like wildfire in recent years. It seems that given a fast healthy option, people would go for it. Here in Roseville, California there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufoodgrill.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"UFood Grill\">UFood Grill<\/a>, which has locations in several states across the country.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">If you have healthy fast food businesses in your hometown, share them with us- because it just seems like a huge niche waiting to be filled. I don&#8217;t know if it just hasn&#8217;t been handled by the right business minds, or if the costs of fresh and healthy foods don&#8217;t match the dynamics of fast drive-thru service. It seems there has to be a good reason why they haven&#8217;t started to flourish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More news on the effort to put a moratorium on new fast food restaurants in a section of Los Angeles that already has 400 in a 32-square-mile radius.
