Interesting that the only alternatives you give me is control over people's lives or lining them up and shooting them.

If by "useful ideas" you mean "things I would force other people to do," you're right. Fresh out.

I gave you an answer that will probably work. Is it that much harder than a government takeover of the food industry? Or is it unappealing because my answer reduces government power instead of multiplying it?

Fact is, we didn't have this problem years ago and our diets were a lot crappier in many ways. The geniuses who want to be dictators are probably, as they so often are, wrong. Don't put them in charge.

I showed some other possible causes for the problem. Demographics might also be an issue.
