Data, from Public Health England (PHE), compared levels of deprivation with numbers of takeaways such as chip shops, burger bars and pizza places and found that deprived areas such as Blackpool and parts of Manchester and Liverpool have five times more fast food outlets than affluent areas.
As a result PHE wants local authorities to ban new takeaways.
PHE chief nutritionist Dr Alison Tedstone is quoted by the BBC:
"Local authorities have the power to help support people in making healthier choices.The use of the word "choice" seems disingenuous, given that Nanny wants to ban certain food types from the diets of "poor" people.
They need to question whether these fast food hotspots are compatible with their work to help families and young children live healthier lives."

People on the poverty line can't afford overpriced healthy food and thus, are overweight. If local councils ban takeaways then they might as well tell some families not to eat at all.
