Do you think cities should be able to ban fast food restaurants from opening because of health concerns?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 30, 2008

“Actually, I do think they should be able to. There are so many things in fast food that are harmful aside from it causing obesity. If it's harmful to people, they should be able to restrict it.”

“No. It's not the government's responsibility to protect people from themselves.”

“I don't think it's an entirely bad idea, but they need to focus on providing an affordable alternative.”

“I think so. I think it would have a positive effect on the community.”
