Fast Food

(Fox News) - The process of defining exactly what constitutes "fast food" can be many things — but here in Washington — it is most assuredly not fast. The District of Columbia government has been at it for eight months — and still has not come up with a suitable definition.

It seems some neighborhoods in D.C. want to freeze out fast food establishments — but need the city to come up with a definition first. And the government and private industry can't even agree on using the term "fast food" anymore. It seems that phrase is — as the kids say — "so yesterday."

A representative of the Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Association says the current lexicon is "quick-serve" — which apparently does not apply to city government.
