Uh-oh.

I’m not sure I like where this is headed.

On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles City Council put a ban on new fast food restaurants in one of the city’s impoverished southern neighborhoods.

Then yesterday, Dunkin’ Donuts announced plans to start serving some healthier menu options, like egg-white flatbread sandwiches, at its restaurants across the country.

(As Homer Simpson would say: "Mmmm. Egg-white flatbread sandwiches….")

Clearly, if there’s a healthy eating craze sweeping the nation, the consequences here in Memphis could be quite dire.

How dire?

Imagine next year’s Memphis in May barbecue cooking contest, only with smoked turkey instead of pork.

It could happen.
