Policy and critical thinking · MMI practice station
You have been invited to a public meeting where your city council is proposing to refuse new licenses to fast-food outlets within 400 meters of any school. Supporters say it protects children’s health and that the environment children grow up in shapes their habits. Opponents say it punishes small businesses, restricts adult choice, and that there is little evidence it changes what children eat. Discuss whether the council should adopt the policy.
