In some countries, an increasing number of children are overweight or obese as a result of eating too much fast food. Banning fast food from school canteens is the best way to fight this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
More children who eat excessive amounts of fast food are diagnosed with obesity in some nations. Some people regard school canteens prohibiting selling them as the best solution to tackle this problem.
