If they were serious about this, they would scrap the government control of doctors and open a bunch of government-run gyms. Maybe give people a 1% discount on their taxes for every 100 miles they run on a government treadmill.

As for 'we know what the answer is', maybe you do and maybe you don't. Years ago, you would have been told that eggs were bad for you and trans-fat was good for you. You would have been told that the key to losing weight was to eat lots of carbohydrates and artificial sweeteners. You would have been told that farm raised salmon was the safe and healthy alternative to wild salmon. You would have been told that genetically modified canola oil was far healthier for you than organic coconut oil.

As for this specific program, you've got the government railing on the harmful effect of fast food, begging parents to let their kids eat healthy school cafeteria food. At the school cafeteria, they are served the exact same stuff that they're supposed to avoid at the fast food restaurant - chicken nuggets, hamburgers, corn dogs, deep fried french toast sticks with heavy syrup, etc.

the problem is that kids don’t want salmon whether it is farm raised or wild. Coconut oil? Not everyone likes the taste of coconut. They want their big macs and mac and cheese and all that other crap. The healthy stuff is also much more expensive.
