You want to regulate fucking fast food prices? lol. Have you considered just not buying overpriced garbage to shovel down your throat?
If it was realistic to expect people to do that, fast food wouldn’t be the enormous moneymaker it is.

If one person is obese, it’s a personal failing.

If the country has an obesity epidemic, then it’s a systemic problem.
When you create this shoveling caricature of your fellow citizen, you support the fast food industry’s claim that millions simply have a personal problem. Their shareholders are the ones eating your lunch.
So the answer is price controls to keep junk food cheap for the masses who can’t control their eating habits? Makes sense.
And having loads of people with a particular personal failing doesn’t make it not one. At some point people need to take some responsibility for their actions and work to improve themselves. Otherwise their lives will continually be mired in negative consequences.
Where are you getting price controls? The “answer” is a bunch of stuff that tbh will impact prices. For example, ending corn subsidies would make food more expensive on average, but you personally would save money because the healthy choices you make would have better economies of scale.
It’s not like everyone in the world has this problem. It’s concentrated on the USA; the food here is less healthy. I don’t know you or what strengths or weakness you have, but everyone responds to incentives.
Where are you getting price controls?
From the title and content of the meme? Fair enough if you don’t share that sentiment, but I literally led with commenting on it.
For example, ending corn subsidies
Should absolutely be done. Would be better for everyone except politicians and corporations. Also happens to be a move towards a freer, less distorted market.

Surge pricing for fast food is a hilarious concept. Maybe if they also offered discounts during their slow hours?
