Ban Fast Food?
In summer 2008, Los Angeles lawmakers banned fast-food chains from opening new outlets in South L.A., which has the city's highest concentration of fast-food restaurants and a 30 percent higher rate of obesity than the rest of Los Angeles County. The long-term goals of the one-year ban are to reduce obesity, encourage more healthy food choices in existing fast-food restaurants, and promote new, healthier food outlets in an area that lacks eateries and grocery stores. Do you support the ban on new fast-food restaurants? No more BK, Jack in the Box? In and Out Burger? Say it ain't so! Be healthy. Take care--
