we probably would have a lot less junk food if the govt didn’t subsidize grain (which leads to cheaper corn syrup and grain fed beef) and tobacco so much.

I agree with you that government shouldn’t subsidize things. They are especially schizophrenic on tobacco, subsidizing it as they do, and then taxing it and claiming it is responsible for all sorts of harms.
