> As for myself, I think what foods I choose to consume are none of the government's business
There is a difference though: it's not about choice as much as it is about "good defaults". As a state you should want your folk to have better food, but if some person wants the choice of micromanaging their diet then sure, go ahead.
I shouldn't be struggling to find non-processed food in a supermarket. This is often the case right now, which is why I would very much welcome some more regulation on this.

What supermarkets do you go to that don't have a produce section and a meat section? Is there some other form of unprocessed food you expect?
Even something like pasta and bread are technically processed (but maybe not ultraprocessed unless its wonderbread)
Surely don't all supermarkets sell potatoes, carrots, green vegetables, fruit, nuts, minimally processed cereals (husk removal and cleaning), fresh meat, fish, cheese, eggs and dairy products including naturally processed cheeses?
I wonder if the term 'micromanaging [their diet]' is a touch perjorative. Given the prevalence of serious chronic diseases which are reported to be strongly linked to what you eat, shouldn't everyone be encouraged to take a serious look at how to 'macro' manage their diet, an action which is almost certainly likely to improve quality of life and maybe life span?
