What about people who live in food deserts?
- cmurf 9y agoWhat about them? They'll live longer automatically, that's one incentive. Every state should probably require every food related corporation to be a benefit corporation, with clear phrasing that an equal motive to profit for that business is incentivizing customers to eat healthy. If the incentive is just profit, you get crazy things like government subsidized sugar farmers and boner pill pharma.

What about the people who have a crappy diet not by choice - like people who live in food deserts? Of course, these are the same people who need the most help, so asking them to pay out of pocket is particularly cruel and myopic.
