It is possible to test my proposal above and potentially improve the situation in the article.
Try introducing subsidy for healthy food and taxes for unhealthy stuff in a few diverse geographical areas. Track eating habits and health indicators (triglycerides, LDLs, blood pressure, etc.) of the population samples for 3-10 years or longer if warranted, compared with those in comparable areas which serve as control groups.
With statistical techniques, we may even be able to estimate the cost savings in healthcare systems and DALY improvement from the policy.
