Junk food shouldn't be so cheap so lifting any subsidies would help there. There should be a limit to what a person can order from fast food restaurants, an actual limit to "all you can eat". I don't know about new taxes, but kids should be taught how to cook from scratch in school, it should get the funding sex ed gets. Cooking is a very important life skill and if people know how to cook properly, they should be healthier.


i work at a pizza place with an all you can eat pizza and salad bar, we dont have very many obese customers, why punish the rest of them for the very few who can't control themselves? Why not just have the few that cant control themselves live with their choices, so perhaps they will change their minds and change their ways.

I actually agree with what you said, but those that do become obese don't seem to learn, they just get fatter and fatter. It is their choice though. There is nothing a government can do to get people healthier, the unhealthy can only change this. Education is a big part in that. 

Yea, bad subsidies, and bad education have done their damage. But there has been a big push for healthier items everywhere in the US so things will turn around. As people get educated about it they will get healthier.
