Set a minimum price per calorie for unhealthy foods

Petition Details

People have become accustomed to eating foods such as fast food, chocolate, sweets etc. These are unnecessarily high in calories and, as a result, directly fuel the obesity crisis. A minimum price per calorie would force these foods to be made with the same taste and far fewer calories.

Additional Information

Suggestion: 1p per calorie.

E.g. In order to sell a typical fast food lunch of currently 1000 calories would cost a prohibitive £10. In order to sell the same meal for £5, fast food chains would be forced to create the same, good tasting meal for only 500 calories.
