Reyna goes ga-ga over new fast food place

From NY1:

"Pollo Campero was founded by a Guatamalan family in 1971 and has opened ever since 52 locations in the United States but we are very lucky to have the first in New York City in the 5 boroughs here in Ridgewood, Queens." - City Councilwoman Diana Reyna

Hey lady, didn't you get the memo? There is a war on fast food in this city. You aren't supposed to be cutting ribbons when they open.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich - 889 cal
Yuca Fries - 315 cal
Mango beverage - 376 cal
Total - 1580 cal

And there is another one of these restaurants in Corona on Roosevelt Avenue. Someone didn't fact check...

Because greasy 3rd world mystery meat aint healthy food, thats why.

Get ready to shell out a bundle more for Medicaid as chomping down on the garbage sold by Pollo Campero gives rise to countless new cases of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Just what we over burdened taxpayers need.

Uninformed pols would flock to any ribbon cutting, even if that ribbon cutting is not them ost appropriate.
