People buy fast food because they don't want to cook. Period. If you remove that unhealthy choice they will just make another unhealthy choice.

It's about offering a healthy choice. Some people will eat junk food no matter what, but if you're only close to a fast food restaurant, then you're forced to go hungry or eat rubbish. If you don't want to cook, but you're hungry, there are plenty of healthy options at your average supermarket. Grab a piece of fruit and a ready-made salad. Grab some cold cuts. The possibilities are endless, even for an individual who doesn't want to prepare food. And many supermarkets have a deli, which can serve up any number of choices that are healthier than a Jack in the Box or Pizza Hut.
