I get that but, fast-food is only a part of the problem. The food that people prepare at home is often just as unhealthy, even though it's often disguised as a healthier option.
One thing I was surprised about is how few calories are in soda. Soda can be terrible if you drink a lot of it, but a regular size soda is less than 300 calories.
But people will eat giant bowls of pasta with far more empty calories than all the soda they drank for the week, or eat pizza with crust that is similar, etc.
We need to generally unsubsidize grains and subsidize vegetables and meat. People eat so much bread and carbs because they are cheap.

Absolutely! That would also require getting the FDA back on the track of protecting the consumer and not corporations.
Sounds like you want to elect more leftists then.
