<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Very interesting concept, with a lot of
merit!!</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">1: Please clarify abbreviations ( PDS, UID,
CSR)</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">2: Most Fast Food Restaurants cater to a particular
market or sector of society. Would all Classes of Society go to the Restaurants
catering to the poor? Might be a problem getting adequate volume if
not.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">3: The poor people would have to travel away from
home to get to the restaurants. Would transportation considerations be
limiting?</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">4: Is there any way you can show a simple
"Benefit/Cost Ratio"?</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">5: How could one establish "filters" to ensure the
meals were attained by those for whom they were intended?</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">6: Would it be possible to do "pilot tests" on a
small scale in a number of locations, to learn about the problems costs, and
benefits from such a proposed program?</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">7: How can benefits be measured? </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">8: How long before the benefits will show
up?</font></div>
