Arterial Blockage was a notorious chain of Earth restaurants, founded in the early 22nd Century by Hermes Hermasillo. Hermasillo's stated goal was to rebel against the proliferation of non-harmful, synthetic junk foods; Soy Bean Subs, SyntheSugar, Phoney Fat, Guilt-Free Grease and the like that had become increasingly prevalent since the late 20th century. Arterial Blockage proudly offered only "the worst food possible" with each restaurant featuring a sign over the door baring the chain's motto, 'Screw Guilt'.
