    Everything always has to make things worse for people, why do no experts ever urge anything but screwing over the poor?

    What about subsidies on healthier options? What about reworking rules to help create pathways for low cost healthy snacks and sustaining foods? How about a program that enables people to have affordable or free access to locally grown produce? Fund development of platforms and technologies to improve awareness and access to healthy food?

    Nope. The affluent experts decide to push something that won’t affect them but will make life harder for everyone already struggling.
