but obviously the majority of people aren't taking responsibility so there should be measures put in place as a disincentive. Like sugar tax. I really think people don't value their own body and the only way to get them to change eating habits is to have penalties. People know smoking is very dangerous and still do it and it is only after there has been so many measures put in place is it being seen as socially unacceptable. Are we being led by the nose to troughs of fatty foods and having our heads shoved in completely agaist our own will? Are we really letting market led strategies do our thinking ofor us? It is ridiculous for anyone to hold other people responsible for their own actions. I'm not saying that anyone else is responsible for our actions, i'm saying that it is deeply routed in our nature to behave like this. I mean would you rather have a pizza or a salad? I know what i'd rather have. And taste is a mechanism that evolved so we would eat the things that were most economic for us and our bodies. When those proteins fats and carbs break down they don't taste the same to us so that is why we don't eat bad meat or whatever else

Obviously Pizza! But I also know that I shouldn't eat the bad stuff all the time.

How about matching the disincentive with an incentive like lowering the price of health foods?
While I am saying the blame should be owned by the individual I do however see it as a governmental responsibilty to put measures in place that make a healthier lifestyle a more attractive option to people and a big part of that is cost.
