Fast Food may be banned in LA!

In a plan to stop the growing obesity problem, the Los Angles council is working on a plan that could see fast food becoming more difficult to buy, as they intend to ban new fast food restaurants.

Obesity is affecting about 30% of the population in the LA area, and it is thought that the availability of this type of food is one of the problems. After there are fast food restaurants virtually everywhere, which means that people do not even have to walk very far to get their lunch etc.

But is this the right way of going about the problem? Maybe not because there will always be something and besides most the fast food places in the area deliver, which sort of defeats the object. Education has to be the best way to combat this problem.
