I wouldn't mind an outright banning of fast food here in the U.S. Sure, people have the right to eat what they want, blah blah blah, but Christ, it's just not good for them, and it's not good for the country. We don't need more fat people. We are the FATTEST NATION IN THE WORLD. It's apparent to me that Americans can't be trusted to make their own decisions about what they eat-- not when their options include the crap they sell at fast food restaurants. We need either some major cultural changes or some new regulations if there's ever going to be an end to it, and I don't think American culture is ever going to change that drastically.

Of course, my opinion only goes as far as the U.S. is concerned. It seems to me that other countries don't have the kinds of health problems we do, so I guess it doesn't really matter in other cases.
