    Yeah, I think this falls into the tilting at windmills category.

    Make healthy food more affordable too. If cost is the factor, if its making junk prohibited by higher cost, make healthy incentivized by lower cost. (Don't know how that can be done, just saying.)

    Right now I absolutely can find junky sugary food at lower price than most healthy food. Or even if its equal cost, sorry the ready-to-eat convenience of sweets can get chosen over need-to-cook food.

    Will people eat carrots at 25 cents a pack compared to 99 cent candy bar? Perhaps not. But have to also make healthy attractive as much as punishing junk. France may not have that issue, US does
    Its understood that Europe is always referenced for "liberal" principles that are effective, and its a "Why Can't WE DO That?!" opinion in it

    Personally I get tired of that Euro-philia too. US is much bigger country than smaller countries more easily managed.
