Loma Linda, California, has one of the longest life rates in the world. It has been tobacco free for 3 decades and about half of the population are Seventh-day Adventists. Many of them are vegetarians and do not have alcohol or even caffeine. Over half of the city council agreed to opening a McDonalds restaurant in Loma Linda, but the ones opposed are very upset and doing what they can to overturn the decision. The reason they outlawed smoking was because it was harmful to the health of the people. The opposed council members argue that fast food is also harmful to their health. A statement was made about how the McDonalds menu is improving but an outraged member of the Healthy Loma Linda Coalition didn't want to hear it. "Trying to say there's a healthy menu at McDonald's is like putting 5 milligrams of Vitamin C in a cigarette."
That's really cool that they have the longest life rates in the world. I would agree with the people that are opposed to opening it because I think they should keep up their healthy town.
