YES, Definitely! Fast food outlets and marketing gimmicks make millions out of these people! The population is in a state of extinction! How many teenagers are infested with obesity! How many people suffer from heart diseases before they turn 25? It's an abolute disaster! Since we cannot regulate or limit the amount of junk food consumed by these students, why can't we use other methods to counteract this pandemic we're facing? Has nobody noticed how the concentration span at schools has decreased and is continuing to do so? Has anybody thought of investigating the cause for that? What is the point of neglecting the health of children when they are eight years old and having them turn anorexic when they are fifteen? We just move from one extreme to the next with no justifications. Instead of blaming the fast food companies for using our weaknesses to make money, why don't we do something to combat this obesity that will wipe us out faster that AIDS? I think we all understand the benefits of having a healthy body, so, why can't we emphasize this from an early age and save the next generation from the problems we are experiencing now? Anyway, who doesn't want to have a great body, feel and look sexy? I know that layers of fat only look good on pigs!
