The San Jose City Council rejected a one-year ban on the construction of new fast food restaurants. This proposal of the banning of fast food restaurants is due to the health effects of fast food, which are known to be detrimental. These ailments include obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. However, knowledge of these effects has never stopped humans from purchasing cheap fast food, especially during the hard economic times in the US. This brings up discussions to whether particular restaurants should be banned to aid public health.
Would the banning of fast food restaurants truly be beneficial to society, or would the results mirror those of Prohibition during the early 1900s? Does banning things from society resolve problems in the long-run, or are they just temporary resolutions?
