One of the big reasons people buy addictive and unhealthy food is because it is cheaper than healthy food, one massive reason for that are the subsidies we put into unhealthy base products like sugar, corn syrup and seed oils. If we get rid of those subsidies we will see parity in pricing between healthy and unhealthy food, additionally you could provide subsidies for products that improve people’s health or even tax the worst foods out there.
