The title of this topic quite honestly leaves me asking more questions instead of trying to answer it, if you see what I mean. My first thought when I wondered if there should be a limit on fast food places was what would you hope to achieve by setting a limit? Presumably the answer is a lowering of the obesity rate, but in all honesty if people really want junk food they’ll just cook it at home if they can’t get it from a take away, so I have to question if limiting the number of fast food outlets would even scratch the surface of the problem. Even if, for whatever reason, a person couldn’t get fast food at home – say they live with parents who control their diet – a  Read the complete review

I think it's unrealistic to put a limit on fast food places. Limiting the amount of restaurants won't stop people eating fast food. Yes, too much fast food is unhealthy for us. But it is the indiviguals decision as to whether they should eat it or not. Limiting the amount of restuarants could cause alot of disagreements. How would this be enforced?

I don't see how you can impose a restriction on the number of fast food places there are in a town or particular location as surely the economy works on a relatively free market and any restriction would limit competition.

As with all of my case studies I am going to give a yes section and a no section to my debate then make my own mind up based on how I can convince myself, by the way I don’t have a split personality I just like to argue with myself! Yes There should be a limit on fast food places because lets face it, it will lower obesity rates, if your nearest fast food place is a 2 min walk then you will have the option to eat it much more than if it was a 20 min drive away. Obesity rates are at an all time high and the ‘trend’ shows no signs of slowing down, if we limit fast food restaurants then at least we can solve a small problem, if we take small ...  Read the complete review

Obesity in current climates is a big topic of conversation and a real cause of concern for celeb types like Jamie Oliver. Recently he mentioned that parents who fed their children crap were indeed wankers. Of course it was fine for Jamie to say that because thanks to Sainsburys and book sales he is fortunate enough not to live in the real world. We’ve seen a change in trend for fast food restaurants over the past few years. What used to be a fun outlook on fast food has changed in order to offer a healthy option and keep with the times. The question this dooyoo category is raising is ‘Should There Be A Limit on Fast Food Restaurants?’. My personal answer ...  Read the complete review
