Setting regulatory limits on sugar and sodium content would be a good start.

Some of this was tried two years ago and one side of the political spectrum threw a shit fit.

Face it: regulation played a major role in the overall cultural shift that has lead to a drastic reduction in the number of American smokers. As long as a measurable percentage of Americans continue to see ANY new regulations as an affront to liberty, we only seem to go in circles in dealing with the public health crisis of our time.
