I'm not disagreeing with the intent of Katie, I just don't think it's possible to lump all fast food places everywhere into a nice tidy box...

It seems to me that people are using fast_food interchangeably with junk_food, in Australia in recent years McDonalds have been pushing hard to clean up their image, as a result they only cook food to order, and they no longer have fast food, but slow food... _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
