[quote=Anonymous]here are some possible policy changes:

single payer/medicare for all.a non profit health care system is more incentivized to prevent disease than treat it.

require grams of added sugar as well as calories at fast food restaurants

ban HFCS and high inflammatory oils

ban/limit harmful pesticides in food

shift farm aid toward organic and local growers and producers

ditch the food pyramid (the base is carbs, with no explanation that there's a world of difference between different forms); teach the new pyramid (vegetables/plants on the base)

walking/biking/pedestrian centers and expanding public transportation (i walked much more when I was living in a city with metro, now I have to consciously take walks)

nutrition/health education in school that extends to families at home (michelle obama's programs?)

more WIC programs for organic/small farms

more federal research dollars into research on nutrition diet and not drugs--that being said, offer obesity drugs rather than 'willpower/diet' prescriptions for obese people who want to lose weight.
