Honestly a gigantic tax on added sugars in our food stuff would be great. I want that shit taxed every time the commodity changes hands - from the moment it’s a corn stalk or a sugar cane stalk or beets in the ground all the way through to when you are drinking your preferred variety of sugary drink.
Our food system is so broken and the financial incentives, and time saving ones, are perverse and pervasive.
I don’t want to kill fast food but I do want it to go back to reasonable portion sizes and it should be cheaper to buy a salad than a burger. That’s how our food subsidies need to be structured, not shoveling money into the meat and sugar/corn industry so the worst food can be the cheapest.
