I am your density.

Maybe you are what you eat. This restaurant's national distribution seems to define our shape.

I don't know about you, but my eye caught a curious absence of dots in the general shape & location of West Virginia.
Are all of their locations on or near the state border? What is the design or method of the dispersion?
Tell me, Mr. Von Worley: Why do the dots glow?



























I don't buy in to all the Super-Sized bashing of convenient targets when it mostly boils down to making (or having the opportunity to make) good choices and the (dreaded) personal responsibility. Don't try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Let traditional fast food do what it has done for decades. If  "MacDowell's" started serving the absolute tastiest and healthiest organic and vegan burgers, wouldn't everyone be just a little skeptical? (Soylent Green?) New vendors of healthy fast foods should be supported in the market as alternatives to the same ole stuff. But this coversation digresses quickly due to capital, power, demand, etc and is not the point of this blog... BUT, while there may be some room for cartographic improvement, this map certainly makes a statement. Compare and contrast with a previous blog entry. Bon Appetit!
