It looks obvious

Here is the perfect antithesis for the NY ban on Trans fat, which I rant about couple of days ago. Apparently people can choose by themselves not to eat unhealthy food:

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.”

It seems like people can make their own choices without the nanny government involvement, and pretty good ones. After all the solution to a problem will be usually less government rather than more of it.

(thanks for The Liberty Papers for finding this!)
