Reply #1: He Wants to Solve the "Obesity Epidemic" by Making Food So Expensive that Poor Folks Can't Afford It

[AndyTiedye]

The author of this article wants to employ the same "behavioral economics", but he wants to replace all the carrots with sticks.
Note that he wants to raise the price of all the cheap foods, but says nothing about lowering the prices of healthy food.

Raise the price of gas so people can't afford to drive.
Raise the price of food so people can't afford to eat.

Screw that!

LET THE PEOPLE DANCE!

We didn't have an "obesity epidemic" when the rave scene was flowering.
It started after the cops came and shut most of it down.

Places that still have a flourishing dance scene tend to have less obesity.
Places where dancing is regarded as EEEEVIL have the highest obesity rates.
