Rejected petition Make healthy food cheaper than junk food

More details

The country has a huge obesity problem. I would love to eat healthily every day but I can't afford to. Junk food is so much cheaper than healthy food.

If the government are serious about tackling obesity they should start by lowering the price of healthy food and by raising the price of junk food.
