    Yeah, the taxing one is quite controversial and I don’t know if I necessarily agree with it.

    But, the sugar tax in the UK seems to have had a positive impact so far, from what I’ve seen it’s reduced childhood obesity and dental issues.

      Maybe taxing junk food to specifically and directly subsidize healthy food? Feels like an obvious idea now that I think about it but I can also imagine junk food companies absolutely throwing a fit. Bet it would be popular with the average person though.
