Junk Food, Restrict availability Options

[EmeraldKnight]

Alrighty.. moving away from religion.. how's this for a topic?
I'm going to structure this policy debate style, but very condensed and with no cited evidence cards (because I dont want to actually search, but I've argued this before, both sides)

Obesity is such a huge problem in the United States now.. and not just because of genetics, but because of lifestyle, and because of the ready availability of junk food and fast food restaurants; Americans live such hectic and stressful lives today that they hardly have any time to eat healthy, and as a result, obesity has become a significant problem in society today. Therefore, the affirmative team resolves that the United States Federal government enact a plan that substantially reduces the amount of obesity in the United States

Contention I: Harms+Significance:
a. Obesity is now one of the leading killers of American citizens today
Therefore, this problem extremely severe and something must be done

b. Fast food restaurants exist in such great numbers and availability, and with such cheap prices and are much more convenient than preparing food ourselves

Contention II: Inherency
a. No regulations exist on the fast food companies; regulations exist to make sure that the food meets FDA standards in safety, but not in healthiness

The Plan:
Impose regulations on fast food companies to make them reduce the amount of fats, sodium, and calories in the products they sell
Compliance is mandatory or they cannot operate

Contention III: Solvency
By forcing the fast food restaurants to comply to these regulations, we make the American diet more healthy for the large number of ppl that rely on fast food restaurants, and thus we create a more healthier, America with a smaller obese population

If all fast food restaurants comply, consumers WILL have to eat healthy or they'll have to go and cook their own meals (which will most likely be healthier than the current fast food meals); and since most of the consumers that eat fast food do so because they dont have the time to do otherwise, they most likely dont have much time to exercise and this would force them to be healthier

Contention IV: Topicality
Does not apply here since no research is needed and there isnt a global resolution to adhere to

*Minda, I know this sucks, I acknowledge that.. I made it up in a 30 second time span cuz I was bored and I wanted to see just how lame a topic I could create and hopefully argue somewhat efficiently*

I am now open to cross examination and points of clarification (ppl I know its a lame/mundane topic, but seeing as how all the emphasis was on religion and not getting anywhere, at least give me credit for an original topic; if its too lame or something, mods feel free to delete or close this topic)

yes i think it's a very communist thing to do, but if you want to fight about it know your stuff. the movie is very convincing.

I don't have to watch the movie to know my stuff... the movie, as a media, would only make me biased.

I'm suggesting that instead of banning fast food (which is an absurd notion that will never happen), there can be regulations for fast food restaurants to provide junk food as well as healthy food.

Can you elaborate on how this sort of regulation would be communistic?
