Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating waytoo much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway。:T9h;~9n0d
So here's a suggestion offered by tworesearchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol controlpolicies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?:T9h;~9n0d
"Many policy measures to controlobesity （肥胖症）assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and howmuch they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access tohealthier foods," note the two researchers。:T9h;~9n0d
"In contrast," the researcherscontinue, "many regulations that don't assume people make rational choiceshave been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance -- like food --of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems.":T9h;~9n0d
The research references studies of people’sbehavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and thenlists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if appliedto junk foods. Among them::T9h;~9n0d
Density restrictions: licenses to sellalcohol aren't handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted （分配）based onthe number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcoholless easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink。:T9h;~9n0d
Similarly, the researchers say, beingpresented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit thedensity of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in emptycalories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t primarily foodstores?:T9h;~9n0d
Display and sales restrictions: Californiahas a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gasstations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities.At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they'reeasily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban themfrom the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restrictingportion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, andplacing warning labels on the products。:T9h;~9n0d
