You wanna talk about clogging arteries?!?!?!!?!? I'm SURE the Applebee's items probably have 1/3 less fat and calories than what those eating soul food consume. Besides, it will provide jobs for community and help clean up the streets. Ummm…I live in Harlem and am HARD PRESSED to find anything other than a soul food restaurant.

America was build on fast food, it’s not going to go away and the really is that you are responsible for what you eat ... as for children the responsibility falls on the parents. If you don't complain about McDonald's, Burger King ..... don't complain about Applebee's is just another modern day fast food restaurant. So much time wasted trying to place people in categories.

Any health care professional will tell you to eat in moderation. No one is forcing the food down the throats and just because there was not an Applebee's in the neighborhood doesn't mean people weren't eating it. How about the fact that Applebee's is only recently moving into these neighborhoods when they were previously in suburbs? Was that genocide also? As for the photo, it was in the original article posted in Crain's. Yet, I don't see you over there giving them the same spiel. Why is that? It is apparent that the article is a business article not an advertisement. Please, there are less hostile ways of making your point about health and nutrition.

Lovely! Hoo-ray for Applebees, Quiznos, McDonald's, KFC, Dunkin Donuts and Fried food everywhere! The KKK itself could not do a better job in destroying the health of a community! And look here, in the same breath UF promotes the Harlem Health Fair & Expo?????. You're kidding, right? Who really cares about "health" in Harlem? We're going bonkers over a full blown Applebees!
