Yeah, I think educating the population is the right approach. Of course, mistakes like the food pyramid is very hard to overcome since at the time you did have scientists advocating for the food pyramid, you have lobbyists influencing the government, and various other corruption problems. Removing government corruption is just something that has to be overcome in general. But sin taxes are just a bad idea since you end up punishing people who are doing the sin, can make the poorest people poorer which can potentially spiral. Sure, the non-sinners get to feel good since they are punishing the sinners, they can get money from the sinners to do good things with it. They just feel a great sense of righteousness from it. For what? For making things more expensive for poor people. Instead of reaching out to people and educating them about why it's bad, etc.
