Market share affects restaurants just like any other business and they are particularly susceptible to recessions. Grocery stores have much less risk. * * *

Yes, most restaurants don't make it. The ones that do probably combine at least a few standout menu items, a decent location, and excellent money management skills. Managing cash flow is critical in the restaurant business. As for Michelle Obama, I happen to like that she's making a cause out of obesity so you may be talking to the wrong person with me. Obesity is steadily increasing as we all can observe and it puts a hidden tax on everyone in the form of increased medical costs and lost productivity in the work place. There's a real and measurable financial cost to the country. I hadn't read that she asked the restaurant industry to reduce portion sizes. Do you have a link?
