I agree with some of the things you said Charlatan but I'd stop short at involving taxes. I'm totally opposed to sin related taxes, but this is what you get after going after the tobacco companies. When we started taxing smokers few people thought it would lead to a tax on unhealthy foods. We get closer to that every day.
I'm not in favor of the government removing types of ingredients we can use but would be in favor of more regulation aimed at how advetising is made. I thought that subliminal messages were banned some time ago, it's time to increase that to include methods like those mentioned by lurkette.

The funny thing is that a frozen pizza takes over 20 minutes to make if you include the time it takes to heat up the oven. In that same amount of time someone can cook two cups of rice (real rice, not minute rice), steam some veggies, and cook some chicken. It's so much healthier and it doesn't even take longer. Sub a baked potato for the rice and you can cut the prep and cooking time down to about 15 minutes.
