Prohibit fast food, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs etc and massively subsidize healthy food places, rehabilitation etc

The penalty for breaking the new health laws will be rehabilitation.

Think about it, what if we were to prohibit all things harmful for long term human health and massively promote the good things. This would lead to a much faster societal transformation than standard regulation and education that progressuves propose

We need to go way beyond that and that's why I propose radical progressivism to eliminate all that is holding us back from maximum health.

It is one thing to educate people about the harms of drugs and smoking as well as promoting healthier lifestyles, but this approach lacks one thing, enforcement.

If we were to also put an end to the cigarette, alcohol and drug industries as well as punishing the consumers of them, the attractiveness of the alternative healthier lifestyle would be magnified.

Why would you eat fast food if for starters, you know it's bad for you, secondly, it's cheaper and legal to eat a balanced meal at your local restaurant (thanks to the subsidies) and lastly, you'd be arrested.

It's a triple disincentive
