Make healthy food cheaper and tax junk food heavily. My dad recently moved to Ecuador and he’s eating like a king - fruit is like a 5th of the price there than it is where I am in the US.

Now I’m not expecting fruit at a 5th of the price lol, but making it reasonably priced at all would be a welcome change.

We have to hold the big monopolistic food industries accountable. Look at Hershey's, they have a ridiculous amount of lead in their chocolate and no one doing anything to push them.

Remember what happened when NYC tried to ban sodas? Yeah, good times.

Literally everything is a fifth of the price in Ecuador as it is in the US.
