“McDonald’s does not fit the Loma Linda brand of health and wellness”
Then don’t eat there, the World doesn’t revolve around you.
“First medicinal wine from a teaspoon, then beer from a bottle!”
Bingo! And these nosy busybodies should let the people in Loma Linda make that decision. If they all feel the same way, McDonald’s will not do enough business there to remain open.
They would strongly disagree, and assert that the world does indeed revolve around them; and that their opinions are the only ones that matter.
Importantly, the truth though is that it is extremely difficult to forbid a restaurant from a city. Its zoning is ordinary, and the site they choose will likely already be zoned for business. The state, not the city, approves the health license for a restaurant to function.
Best of all, McDonalds has a legion of lawyers who could chew the city to ribbons if it tried sneaky means of prohibiting them.
