	Why bother? Sure, you can try to run a fancy restaurant,
	but if all the people want is McDonald's you're soon out
	of business. You can set up your own burger franchise,
	offer onion rings instead of fries, put a couple of
	ethnic dishes on the menu and replace cheddar with
	cottage cheese, but what makes you money is still the
	same ol' meat patty. :)
