AVOIDING JUNK FOOD

• Berkeley, California has banned junk food near checkouts.
• This is great.
• Generally, people cave to junk food because it’s right in front of them.
• Making it easier to avoid is a good thing.
• The junk food brands aren’t getting the same shelf space — nor should they.
  • This sort of law is fighting the economics of crap food.
    • Horrible food brands should not be able to sell more simply because they can afford to put the food in front of kids.
• They may be able to figure out other ways to push this unhealthy food.
  • However, this a start.
    • They’re subbing in “healthier” foods.
      • The heart is in the right place, but we need to make sure it’s *actually* healthy foods here.
