These are the things that civic support should encourage by making market supply abundant.
Re 1: Actual building codes that isolate the noise of neighbors (even in minimum code apartments).
Re 2: Figure out some incentive (not punishment) that makes the actually healthy foods more cost effective than the fast / junk foods.
Re 3: Encourage walkable + transit urban design and over-supply urban areas to keep the rents slightly less expensive than even middle of nowhere costs.
Re 4: Sorry, evolving the species is going to take more time, we can only keep pushing.

Not sure if it's a funtion entirely of the regulatory environment but perhaps also luck of geography but the cheapest things (vegetables, pasta, rice) mean that for the price of a chocolate bar you can make several healthy meals. For the most part, people do cook these basic foods, usually with some meat thrown in where they can (The crowd I associate with aren't the wealthiest) #3 I experienced this a lot growning up in a city that was deliberately designed like this and built up from farmland in the 70s in the UK. I feel like the design has been so successful (popping up an entire city from nothing in 50 years) that other countries should really consider also investing in creating new properly designed cities as a response to the idea 'the big cities were designed badly when first built and now we're stuck with them'
