Just been thinking about it. Promotes healthy eating, but it also seems regressive. Is healthy food subsidies the better option? How do you implement it? Maybe healthy food subsidies financed by junk food tax seem like the best option? Discuss

    Nutrition and cooking classes would help if they're implemented in a way that coordinates with the elimination of food deserts. Of course living in a food desert you're fucked

    With that said myself and a lot of other people I know had parents who both worked and didn't know how to cook and thought pop tarts were a fine breakfast. So it took me a decade of me working in the health field and learning shit online or in cooking classes to learn how to cook for myself. Giving everyone baseline cooking skills should be taught in high school and since everyone over high school age would miss out they should get the chance at it too.

    Obviously these are only partial solutions short of a working class revolution. Even after revolution they'd be nice skills to know.
