In the UK, which faces exactly the same issue, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has put out a demand for a 20 % tax on fizzy drinks, a strict limit on
fast food outlets near schools and other places where children and youth gather, the removal of junk food vending machines from hospitals, and a prohibition on junk food ads before 9.00 p.m.
In fact, the three upper classes have the option to leave school for lunch, and many do grab something from the
fast -
food outlets near Fenway Park (about a hundred yards away).
