Part of the reason we have an obesity problem in this country is it is much cheaper to get calories from unhealthy foods than healthy ones. This is partially due to the subsidies that we find on foods like corn and beef. I propose we take that money and put it into subsidizing healthy foods. If we make it cheaper to buy healthy food and more expensive to buy unhealthy food people will consume more healthy food and less unhealthy food and our country will save billions in healthcare costs.
