Or better regulation.

Treating refined sugar as the addictive substance it is, and keeping those products in a separate part of the store rather than at the checkout line. Removing subsidies for unhealthy ingredients, subsidising healthier ones. More education in schools. Better funding and requiring school districts to meet certain quality standards for the food they provide to children. Ensuring all children have the right to a healthy meal. Where previous initiatives have fallen short, critically evaluate why and make them better. Thinking about social psychological factors for our collective mental health and thinking about how this influences our dietary and exercise choices.

There are lots of actions that could be taken that are not just pharmaceutical.

This is more than just children, the food environment adults are subject to encourages unhealthy habits too. Locking kitkats up won't change a thing.

Just look at American portion sizes at any restaurant -- they're huge! The common mantra is that we want to ensure we get our money's worth. I was astounded on my trips to France. The dinners were still filling, but were much smaller than most American restaurants I've dealt with on the East Coast, Southeast, and Midwest.

Plus we put sugar/HFCS in literally everything. If you wanted to save a few calories and eat a ham sandwich at home, the basic loaf of white bread you're yanking off the shelf has HFCS, and for what?

This isn't even getting to the usual punching bag of fast food/fast casual, where you're easily set back 1000-1500kcals on the default menu selection.

lol regulate it like cigarettes. 18+ to buy it, hidden behind the counter on that shelf that only shows the name part of the label.

"Hi, can I get a ... snickers please?"

"Ye but i'll have to see some ID first!"
