I just spent 5 mins typing an issue, only to be told that I had insufficient population. Bummer.
I post it here in hopes that someone will be kind enough to submit it for me, or rip it apart. Whatever.

Name: Filthy Food In Flash Restaurants

Description: Recent food inspectors have uncovered a worrying amount of filth in food served in @@NAME@@'s higher-class eateries. Hair, faeces, even battery acid have been found in worrying amounts.

Validity: Not valid for governments that have abolished wages, or have a minimum wage. Or have the death penalty,

Options:
[option]An anonymous spokesperson for Chefs Against Fat Cats says "This is just our revenge for the crappy wages in the food industry. If wages were higher, maybe your next meal won't give you syphilis. Maybe."
[effect]Restaurant business plummets from added expense. @@NAME@@ residents spent more time cooking, less time working. Economy suffers. Chefs suddenly drive expensive cars. Food quality is great, though.
[option]"Who cares what it contains, it tastes great!" remarks @@RANDOMNAME@@ after sampling 'tomato' soup consisting of random bacterial gunk. "Frankly, whatever ingredients they use, they should just use more!"
[effect]Healthcare costs increase dramatically.
[option]"LIBERAL PANSY-ASS METHODS WILL NOT CURTAIL THE PROBLEM," proclaims a popular talk-show host of @@ANIMAL@@ Networks, the prime purveyor of "fair and balanced" news in @@NAME@@. "We need to institute the death penalty to deal with cases like this. Otherwise, how can I ever enjoy a banana latte with peace of mind again?"
[effect]The death penalty is instituted. The practise of fouling food is largely curtailed.

There are a few problems in terms of the styling, but I can just sort those out now :-

Otherwise, fine. I'll go send it in now.

Issues can't effect population, and I would remove the 'feces' reference.

Other than that it looks good.
