Offer free cooking and nutrition coaching for low-income families. They're the ones with kids most likely to subsist on junk. Presumably if it proves to be effective, the gains will eventually extent to the hold-outs in the middle-class.
I would observe as much at the supermarket on the regular in an area I once lived in, heartbreaking to see.

- slothtrop 9y ago>Most people are not low-income for no reason... Low-income workers are as such because they're "ignorant"? Uh.. Why this would work is that free delicious food isn't likely to be turned down. I think people are often creatures of habit and feel intimidated by cooking, along with (as you suggest) disinterest. You don't just teach the mechanics and call it a day, they can walk away with a cheap delicious food and see how easy it is to put together. Ultimately also easier on their wallets than a cart full of 2L soda bottles, frozen pizzas and chips.
