Petition Set a minimum price per calorie for unhealthy foods
People have become accustomed to eating foods such as fast food, chocolate, sweets etc. These are unnecessarily high in calories and, as a result, directly fuel the obesity crisis. A minimum price per calorie would force these foods to be made with the same taste and far fewer calories.
More details
Suggestion: 1p per calorie.
E.g. In order to sell a typical fast food lunch of currently 1000 calories would cost a prohibitive £10. In order to sell the same meal for £5, fast food chains would be forced to create the same, good tasting meal for only 500 calories.
