Ultimately to beat obesity at the government level, organic foods should become affordable and trash food, which may be high calorie but is ultimately nutrient deficient and especially that with a track record of causing long term health issues should become expensive enough that it becomes a treat rather than a simple solution. If there’s no profit in trash food, corporations will go out of their way to provide healthy food.

Agreed, but tiny incremental reforms like this one will make corporations shifting to producing healthier food a very, very long drawn out process, during the meantime poor kids will be missing needed calories they may not get elsewhere
The government should enforce much higher foods standards to incentivise companies to move quicky to healthier food production, and marketing of such over junk food
Of course because corporations and oligarchs control the government through funding the major parties and media organisations this will very likely not happen, thus the need for militant revolutionary Socialism, if we want a healthier society and to end to crises such as child poverty and malnutrition any time soon
Obviously people and especially kids should be eating as healthy as possible
But making high calorie food more expensive when there’s cost of living and child poverty crises is not the way to go
