1. Build dense, walkable cities with dedicated bike paths and trains so people can get around without cars.
2. Ban all advertising for all unhealthy foods, including storefront advertising and box art.
3. Establish public parks with opportunities for a wide variety of outdoor activities, as well as accessible public bathrooms. For the record, this is already being done.
4. Grant free preventative care and treatment to all citizens, including mental healthcare and dieticians. Obesity develops for a variety of reasons, in part because of unhealthy attitudes about food, which could be addressed through therapy.
5. Make a national effort to combat systemic work stress through pro-union and pro-co-op policies. Establish a PBI and universal housing system, which will together give workers more negotiating power, which they could use to bargain for lower workload.
6. Continue developing weight loss drugs, and ideally create one with such limited side effects so as to be suitable for use as an OTC medication.
7. Levy a tax on sugar which is high enough to motivate more stores and restaurants to offer low/no-sugar alternatives.
