I never even thought of it until recently, or knew it occurred around the world, but we should start taxing unhealthy foods. It's the only way people learn, 1 - that the shit you are buying is even bad for you, and 2 - that you need to stop consuming that item or you will die early. Cigarettes are a perfect example. Raise the tax, and people either can't afford to purchase them anymore, realize they must be really bad for your health and thus stop smoking them, or at least know they are bad for you and choose to keep wasting their money. Unfortunately, most people don't realize the foods they are eating are killing them, maybe at the same or quicker rate than lung cancer.
Shitty food should be taxed just like cigarettes. A single can of coke or bag of skittles has more than the recommended daily sugar intake. But sodas and snack foods are not solely responsibly for our unhealthy country. People eating bacon for breakfast and steak for dinner every night are most likely not getting any fiber to pull all that junk out of their system. Bad foods aren't as bad if you have a healthy lifestyle to accompany it, or a ton of fiber to balance it out. Exercising your body and your mind is essential to living a healthy and energized life.
Meats are definitely not necessary for protein, which is what most people argue. They just taste good. It's a vice like any anything else. But if we know we don't need it, they why kill another species to eat? You might have another issue you want to overcome first like the love of money, but do you kill other species for money? If so, then whatever dude, you know what I mean.
We have plenty of vegetation to eat on forever, and with good taste if we so desire. In order for harmony to exist on planet Earth, nothing should die prior to living out it's entire life and fulfilling everything it was given life for. God, if he exists, did not put animals here for humans to eat. How ignorant of a statement. The Bible strictly speaks against the killing of animals for food, on probably 20 accounts. Often it speaks of sacrificing lambs and such, which is signified by burning them at the stake, but it simply means don't eat them! Give up what you desire so desperately! That is the key to a long happy life, to bringing harmony to our planet, and thus creating a heavenly world here on Earth.
