LA Tries To Ban Fast Food
September 3, 2008
Los Angeles is after your burger and fries. That, at least, was the point of a bill passed at the end of July that puts moratorium on new fast-food restaurants in the city. The ban remains controversial. Proponents of the moratorium say that there are few options for lower income families in poorer neighborhoods and that most are unfairly targeted by restaurant chains. Opponents, who range from sociologists to trade groups, contend that the causes of obesity are often complex and cannot be attributed to any one cause.
