Very interesting and smart idea. Could it go over in America?
"Since COVID-19, researchers have tried to establish which populations are most at risk, both from catching the virus and succumbing to it. It would appear from initial findings that there is a correlation between obesity and coronavirus. Studies found that COVID-19 patients who had ‘excess weight’ above 25kg/m² were more likely to be hospitalized, need intensive care, and ultimately, die. Mexican states Tabasco and Oaxaca have prohibited the sale of sodas and highly processed food to kids under eighteen. The law establishes fines, store closures and jail time for those who continue to sell to minors."
