In yet another dumb report a study shows fast food restaurants cluster near schools. I could have told you that simply by driving anywhere near a school in any town between Denver and Sacramento California (I’m choosing that direction to avoid driving through Kansas). There is not a lot of mystery behind this decision. I present the following [invalid] syllogism:
1) Cafeteria food is horrible
2) Teens have spending money [from selling drugs]
Therefore McDonalds wants in on part of the [drug] money action and builds restaurants near the schools.

I would always walk home for lunch, but I lived 2 blocks from the school. Plus I could then get away from the insanity of the cliques simply be having my friends come over and have fun with me.
