> Take away the junk food, and people will resort to real food.

Many people already resort to real food, even with plenty of junk food around.

“Problem” is unfortunately, that it comes at a price, that many are simply not ready or able to pay.

Who should step in is a good question, and probably governments should make access to information a right and have high quality public service available (in this case a public web search engine). Public libraries used to fulfill this role for centuries.




Probably junk food should be taxed (as alcohol is) for the related health externalities.
