Down in L.A. they have passed a moritorium on new fast food outlets in certain parts of the city, notably in the poorer inner city sections, facts/research have confirmed that both child and adult obesity health problems are much higher among those living in public housing and dependant on welfare.
But its a catch 22 situation , supermarkets refuse to open in these areas due to higher operating costs (stock control/crime problems) so the folks are stuck with corner convienience shops (high prices) and fast junk food outlets.
