Appreciate the comment. I hope my response wasn't taken as being condescending. It wasn't intended to be.
I agree with all of this.
Also agree with all of this (at least to a significant extent).
I simply can't understand how you this conclusion from everything you said above.
Giving out skinny shots should be one of many tools at our disposal we should employ to address the healthcare, poverty, and societal crisis the policies you've mentioned have created or helped cause. Ultimately the true cost of food should be reflected, but one does not necessitate the other. And if you were to make "us" feel the true cost of food, who would be the ones that suffer the most? The ones that already can't afford to eat healthy. The science is still in its infancy, but anecdotally at least there appears to be a correlation between these drugs and an ability of those on them to change their eating habits to lean towards healthier diets, at a lower rate of consumption. Wouldn't that potentially trend towards what you're suggesting? Industrialization and consolidation of our farming (of course along with hefty subsidies) has led to much of the use of preservatives and other bad things associated with our current food supply. Reducing demand for consumption seems like it would be a good thing and lead towards what you want.
