I don’t think just regulating corn syrup would be enough.
I’m kind of an extremist but I think sugar should be a controlled substance treated like how tobacco is now. If you want to advertise your product, it can’t have added sugar in it. Food with added sugar is in a separate section of the grocery store like alcohol.
So much sugary food is marketed to children, and I think if we’re able to limit their exposure to it, we have a better chance at preventing people from developing dependencies and addiction.
Obviously there are still children today who smoke and get alcohol, but it’s not as many children who regularly drink juice and soda.
Portion sizes is another big problem that I have less of a solution for. You can at least control what restaurants are allowed to sell, like no more than 8 oz of protein in a meal, etc.
Yeah i tought regulating the corn syrup shit and all was obious but im still not sure if itll be enough
