In a perfect world, sure. People are generally terrible at weighing short term benefit to long term benefits. It's cheaper per time and dollar spent to get processed food. So people make the decision to eat the easy and tasty option. The goal I'm speaking of is to change that. Make good food cheaper and make bad food more expensive in an effort to change the calculus on the short term benefit in an effort to get the desired long term benefits.
You create incentive structures to get your children to behave. Why are we fundamentally different as adults?
I am sympathetic to your viewpoint. I'd just don't believe you're going to get the desired result.

I do not believe it is about price because cooking healthy food is cheaper if done correctly. Cooking with intention to eat leftovers is way cheaper then buying a frozen pizza or eating out.
People just do not know how to cook
I had a roommate in college that did not know that you had to flip bacon and others that did not know how to make good eggs.

I think the price difference of eating healthy and eating poorly is overstated. Whenever I go into Atkins diet mode, I spend WAY less on food than I do when I'm eating poorly. Having a large pizza and a 2 liter of Coke delivered will cost me around $20 and I can consume that over 2 dinners. $20 can get me right in the range of a pack of 8 frozen chicken breasts, 6 hamburger patties, and a dozen eggs, which will cover all of my meals for 10 days, with water costing practically nothing. We don't need to make bad food more expensive for those that can afford it, we just simply have to stop giving away bad food to people that cannot afford it.
