Mr. Campagnola, I commend you for the comments concerning the desire of many people today to have places in their neighborhood that they can be proud of and that make them feel like their communities are special and have businesses with good services and products to offer. i completely agree that places like Al's ,C margarita, Yau's, etc. all offer food that is dull and overdone and has no nutritive value. Butsir, you are not addressing the underlying causes which result in restaurants that serve poorly prepared, ""uncreative"" and unhealthy food. Have you seen, sir, the movie ""Thank you for Smoking""? What's happening in our insurance industry today, or in the restaurant industry is the same. I worked in marketing at McDonald's Corp , and i learned that McDonald's is first and formost in the real estate business- their main purpose is to make profits, obscene ones at that. Every business needs to make a profit to stay in business, of course. predisposed to heart disease.It is really sad to see. In europe, they don't consume large portions like Americans do. They eat smaller amounts more frequently throughout the day. Their steaks are much, much smaller than the portions sold at Al's. consequently they are much healthier, energetic, and happy. Because we Americans have gotten so used to the supersize culture, we think nothing of it. We think it's normal. But nothing could be farther from the truth. We are only beginning to see that exorbitant health costs to families and society because of our terrible eating habits. I used to know an 80 year old woman who worked in a bomb factory, actually assembling small addictions.parts that would be assimillated into a nuclear warhead. She was a sweet old lady, but she was part of what Eisenhower coined as the very dangerous ""military industrial complex."" The people at Al's, like you say, may be good people, but they are part of something larger that is truly, as you call it, ""monstrous."" Until we as a society promote a culture than reinforces our mutual well-being ,we will continue to have companies and institutions that prey on people’s addictions
Cons: the food
