On possible changes to a taco truck ordinance:

"I would love to see the health department inspect their cooking oil records and oil quality. I will bet they use the poorest trans fat cooking oil, and that they that clogs arteries and that the oil is used way past the time to change it! With no water hook up, does anyone think the water they use all day is fresh?" — I would love...

"Leave the taco wagons alone. Everyone knows what they are going to get when they order from the wagons. To hold the wagons to the same standard as 'brick and mortar' restaurants is unreasonable. The food is inexpensive, which is why the patrons favor the wagons." — Carnitas

"These operations have exceeded their original intent. A one time source of food for industrial zones has now become moving restaurants. Parking lots are being utilized as restaurant pads. Time for specific places of operations. Time for specific hours." — Moving vs. fixed?

"If Starbucks is going to be on every single street corner, let the taco trucks stay where they are. The trucks don't hurt any business, they are providing something that people like, which is tasty food at a cheap price." — J Bonk

On a Christian prayer event not attended by other religions:

"It sure is unfortunate that all faiths can't unite and pray as one in Lodi. I don't see erasure of racial and religious division until this happens. Even though we may have differences if we believe in God, Allah, Buddha, etc. we can all pray together as a group. I don't think God would mind!" — Joe Silva, Sr.

"The national day of prayer was declared by the Continental Congress in 1775 and made formal with Senate bill S1378 in 1987. It calls on all people of all faiths to pray for the nation. The Christians just happen to be doing this. Perhaps others should take the same initiative and honor this 'national' day as well." — MD

" I only eat burgers from Andre's on Lodi. I am trying to get ready for the three pounder challenge. Do they have a health issue? I love tacos, but don't want to eat somehing that looks tasty but has been prepared by hands that may have been "other places". "

" Um...It's pretty simple, You don't like the food, preparation DON'T eat off the taco wagons...Your not being forced to eat at them. You think "other" places are clean...BOY you really need to know what happens behind the scenes to your burger preparations :) "

" I vividly remember a visit to one of these taco trucks that put me in bed for a week. I lost 30 pounds. It was not a fun way to "diet". I don't think that they have running water to wash their hands while preparing food. Where would the "water" come from? Where does the waste water go? No soup for me. "

" The US State Dept advisory for travel to Mexico says bring your own water, don't eat the lettuce or meat when visiting. Why would you eat that "same food" just because its from a "taco truck"? I know they use human fertilizer for their crops, and know lots of people who get sick with the "turistas" - big "D". Why should I be part of a "biology experiment" just because I want something to eat? "
