Individuals are to blame as well. We can tax the companies and/or individuals for making poor choises. Food doesnt have to be healthy to lose weight. Just smaller protion size. So if one is able to afford so much food that one becomes obese the price of unhealthy food has definitely room for extra taxes.
I live in northern europe and here soda without sugar is cheaper since we have sugar tax. Its great! I just wish we would prioritize our free healthcare more towarss those who actually try to better themselves.
