One key way to make America healthy again would be to make all junk food so expensive that the average person couldn’t afford to keep buying it. Problem solved. The main reason most people eat fast food is because it’s so cheap and convenient. That’s why most Americans are obese, diabetic, and fighting cancer and heart disease.
During the Bush era, the U.S. government subsidized high fructose corn syrup, driving the price of all sugary products that used it down, and driving the rates of cancer, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease way up. It’s time to tax the hell out of junk-science food stuff like canola oil, aspartame (that makes you hungrier for sweets), monosodium glutamate (MSG), and HFCS, the devil of all sweeteners.
For starters, welfare food stamps should NOT be able to purchase junk food. Next, Trump needs to impose a heavy tax on all these Big Food manufacturers of the very junk science food stuff products that are driving childhood disease and disorders rates through the roof. Simple fix. Tax the junk food products and ingredients here in the United States and everything these corporate junk food kings import also.
Imagine if everyone had to spend $10 to get a cheeseburger at McDonald’s, Burger King, Arby’s or Wendy’s. Imagine if Taco Bell tacos cost $5 each. What if a “Happy Meal” cost $7? What if sugary children’s cereals cost $12 a box? What about all candy, imagine if a candy bar cost $8. What about a bag of Doritos loaded with MSG and seed oils? If that bag cost $7.50 instead of $2.00, nobody would buy it anymore.
Canola oil is used to process nearly every product of junk food in this country. It’s not really food, it’s super cheap, and it causes rapid weight gain, memory loss, cancer and dementia. It should be outlawed. If it can’t get outlawed, then tax it heavily so these food manufacturers have to switch to olive oil or avocado oil. Tax corn oil and soybean oil heavily also. Make America healthy again through taxation of junk food ingredients. It’s that simple and it would work, at least as a great starting point.
There are major health risks associated with consuming high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and regular bleached white refined table sugar too, both of which contain approximately equal parts fructose and glucose. Key points:
The overall message is that excessive consumption of HFCS and table sugar, which are high in fructose, can lead to various health issues, including liver problems and obesity. The focus is on the added sugars rather than the natural fructose found in fruits and vegetables, which are promoted.
