My best friend and I were recently talking about crime and good food. I pointed out how hanger can lead to erratic behavior, and the importance of eating and eating well. The point was made that so many crimes are committed by passionate people who probably just need a good meal. Something to balance their blood sugar and fuel them for the grind of daily living.
My friend said something along the lines of, “Crime will decrease when tacos increase.” The idea being, nobody can be angry when drinking horchata and eating good tacos. So if cities wanted to clean up the streets and lessen crime they need to make businesses more affordable to run so people can open more taco restaurants.
Good fuel leads to happy people and happy people commit less crimes. Someone call the President.
You’re welcome.
*disclaimer: this was a facetious piece written because when we said, “Crimes will decrease when tacos increase” made me laugh out loud. It has nothing to do with actual food, actual crime, or actual statistics. Just a girl who has been at the mercy of hanger, both that of hers and her family members.
