Question

Which economic policy mechanism is often implicated in making processed, low-nutrient foods cheaper relative to fresh produce and thereby contributing to obesity risk?

Accepted Answer

Agricultural subsidies directed toward commodity crops (e.g., corn, soy) that lower input costs for processed food manufacturers

Answer

Global tariffs on processed foods that make them universally more expensive and less available

Answer

Subsidies targeted exclusively to local farmers' markets that increase produce prices nationwide

Answer

Direct subsidies to consumers for purchasing only vegetables, which makes processed foods cheaper by comparison
