Where does it stop next? Government telling us that we can't have our small piece of chocolate until we eat all our veggies and Mediterranean menu diet guide?

Unironically this should be a mechanism.
While I recognize no system is perfect, we would still socialize those born into misfortunes, I see no reason not to mandate intensive regulations. It is immoral to require society to pay for shit decision making.
The government ensures that realistic healthy options are available but doesn't force people to select them.
The government applies a minimal tax to the most obviously unhealthy options but doesn't otherwise restrict anything.
The government applies regulations before 18 years old but not afterwards.
