It's not even just the fast food adverts. It's also knowing that processed food is a burden on the healthcare system and that organic foods ease that burden. The government should be taxing what is effectively slow acting poison to the point it's not very profitable while also ensuring organic food is as cheap as possible.

But yeah, education and support are vital and we need people to those educators and supporters to know that one size doesn't fit all. Different people need different approaches to their support and education.
