I just have to weigh in (no pun intended) on the massive wave of publicity surrounding Britney Spears’ performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last week. For those who missed the program and/or subsequent story, the much-written about Ms. Spears was scheduled to make her comeback by opening the show by performing her new single, “Gimme More.”

To say that the performance was a train wreck is an understatement…Spears appeared glassy-eyed and out of it, and didn’t even lip-sync to her own song very well. So I have no problem with people making comments regarding her uninspired performance.

(They’re not really coming to arrest me, but how often do I get a chance to insert a Cheap Trick reference into a weight management blog??)

Anyway, this morning I read an article about Los Angeles city councilwoman Jan Perry’s proposed ordinance to ban new fast-food restaurants from being constructed in south Los Angeles. The targeted area of L.A. apparently has more fast-food eateries than any area in the country, and according to a study done by the Department of Public Health, it also has higher rates of obesity than elsewhere in the U.S.
