First, provide tax incentives to encourage large supermarkets to locate in economically disadvantaged areas. This would improve year-round access and affordability to foods consistent with public health guidelines for achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight. Second, bring back basic food-preparation skill instruction to our schools, a version of “hunting and gathering” in the 21st century. This would empower children to have the confidence to purchase and prepare food at home and avoid fostering dependence on quick-serve establishments that are too often bereft in food choices consistent with those advocated in the classroom.
