I support anything that makes people question why they eat garbage goyslop.
Maybe a few will take this as an opportunity to make better lifestyle choices.
If wendy's were raising their prices for some other reason than the fact that the ingredients are through the roof, that could help people. As is, people may in fact not eat at Wendys, but if they try to buy healthy stuff at the grocery store the prices will also be killing them. So what you really want is lower prices and people making better choices.
Processed ingredients produced at bulk scale compared to growing fruit and vegetables will always make the former cheaper than the latter which if you're on a budget, makes the difference.
The alternative is state intervention and force to make everyone eat healthy and go to the gym. But you still have the problem of demand and supply - which if anything will get worse because you only have so much land (and decreasing with solar farms and new housing) yet loads more mouths to feed. Ironically the UK is looking to do this as part of a forthcoming obesity strategy.
Pretty sure UK's obesity strategy is getting rid of livestock and eating the bugs.
I don't think the government needs to intervene but rather stop intervening. They do a ton to promote unhealthy foods primarily because they're paid by big ag to do so. there is a whole government department dedicated to generating goyslop.
