I won't disagree that it has some items that don't make sense or are mislabeled. And I'm not sure why they don't have greenmarkets. But do you think there are a lot of false positives - addresses or communities that get a high walkscore but are not very walkable?
This is not a "green index", it's just about mixed use zoning vs. single use residental and to a lesser extent density vs. suburban sprawl
I live in Hollywood Florida a few blocks from some very nice restaurants and outdoor cafes. The site lists a KFC as a restaurant within walkable distance. Fortunately I have no idea where it is nor do I intend to try to find out. I can get *REAL* food of excellent quality , of various ethnic origins at very reasonable prices in the restaurants that are well within walking distance from my home.
The site gave me a rating of 89 which is just a hair shy of their walker's paradise rating.
I'd give my location a rating of 99 as I'm just 2 miles from a farmers market on a beautiful tropical beach. Even in my current decrepit physical condition and advanced age I'm still quite able to walk there and back. ;-)

Whooo boy, another wealthy, elitist white guy, slamming the working class?
You don't know me, my status, my ethnicity, where I came from, where I've been or what I do but what I do know about you is that you apparently are the equivalent of a human torus!
But I will say this, if just because someone chooses not to eat at KFC when they can get say a falafel with humus pita bread and a tabuli salad at a little middle eastern restaurant for less than what you would spend at KFC for a bucket of fried industrial grade chicken and carbonated sugar water and if you consider that to be elitist and by implication that implies slamming the working class...
You are not only fractally wrong you are a pathetic excuse for a human being as well and you are not worth my time to even compare you to a bucket of lukewarm loose stool!
Wooo boy, mr elitist white guy. Pop a pill and calm down. Musta hit close to home there, HUH? No need for the racist undertones.
KFC is "REAL" food for millions of people each day. No need to try to talk down to the "REAL" people in the world. You choose not to eat there, so what. Food is food, all goes in the same way, all comes out the same way.
"Ironically, actual research into the genetic modification of poultry could turn out to be quite beneficial to consumers. Experimenters are currently seeking ways to breed animals more resistant to parasites and diseases, for example. Not all scientists are mad, nor every experiment tinkering the "building blocks of life" destined to produce monsters.
Meanwhile, KFC stands falsely accused of engineering mutant creatures for profit and finds itself in the queer position of having to reassure the public that its products are safe to consume. "After all, we buy our chickens from the very same sources that ordinary consumers do," notes spokesman Tierney. "We just buy a lot more of them."
Your little ethnic, middle eastern falafel joint serves the same bird. But more likely, to cut costs, it buys an even less quality chicken and has very little quality control in what gets put on your plate. Enjoy.

WTF?! Who the hell is being racist here? Where in my comment did I in any way allude to any racial characteristics of any human being?
Only a complete F'n moron would be incapable of understanding that calling someone an elitist WHITE guy is just as racist as using any other racist slur. What part of double standard are you incapable of parsing.
Furthermore to make such a remark based on someone's critical assessment of the lack of nutritional value in a typical fast food restaurant's,fare(whether such assessment is correct or not),is beyond any pale.
This is my last response to you on this or any other subject, ever.
