Last week, Green America blasted a fundraising email trumpeting the organization's efforts against family friendly restaurant chains LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden, which are both operated under parent company Darden. The entire email is below, but I'll cut to the chase for those possessing little patience for the bossy boots desires of Green America's Director of Consumer Advocacy Elizabeth O'Connell: Institute all sorts of expensive progressive "solutions" to perceived free-market problems, including raising employee salaries to a "livable wage;" reducing portion sizes in response to American obesity; and altering menus to include more organic and vegetarian selections. Did I mention Darden operates LongHorn Steakhouse? In other words, nothing more than one-size fits-all solutions that ignore profitability, economics, consumer choices and, in short, reality.
