There is a growing concern around the health of our nation, and the sale of sweets is a contributing factor to this. The fact that they are so readily available to purchase, and that they are often marketed to children is a cause for concern. We believe that the best way to combat this would be to limit the amount of sweets that can be purchased at any one time, and to also limit the amount of sweets that can be purchased for children. We believe that this would be the best way to combat the issue of obesity in our country, and to also allow people to still have the choice to purchase and consume sweets, but in a more regulated way. We also believe that the best way to combat the issue of obesity in our country, and to also allow people to still have the choice to purchase and consume sweets, but in a more regulated way would be to provide incentives for people to consume healthier foods, and to also provide education on the effects of unhealthy eating and exercise. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - Although we do not believe that the sale of sweets should be banned in supermarkets, we do believe that there should be some level of regulation.
