First of all, it’s amazing to me that anyone would think that it’s up to the President of the United States to have anything to do with a number of the issues presented.
This one, though about the relative inflation rates of prices for junk foods vs. fruits and vegetables did strike me:
They give a link to commentary on the farm bill, which I confess I didn’t read, but here in Illinois it’s a general topic. Seems to me that one way to deal with this is to stop providing corporate farming subsidies for raising the kinds of foods that go into junk food and to stop providing price supports for sugar. Stop taking money out of my (and your) pocket so that the makers of sugar- and starch-rich junk food can make their products cheaper than unfettered market prices would otherwise enable. Of course, that requires leadership from the entire Congress; it’s not something that can be established by Presidential fiat, and Congressional votes on such things in the farming states are more likely influenced by their constituents than by their party “leadership”.
