Increase taxes on junk food, decrease taxes on health food. Restrict marketing of fatty/sugary foods to children. Use of graphic warning labels on pop and other high calories foods with little to no nutritional value. Retail displays of high-sugar, high fat foods to have information prominently placed advising consumer of health risks; Restrict availability of sugary, low-nutritional value foods in sports and other recreational facilities that are frequented by young people. Companies cater their products to making sure that children, when they eat, will crave it after and want more. A fat tax would increase price of food for all.
