Changing the eating habits of a nation VS. Tort law

Health Care and lawsuits or tort law in general is an industry all of its own, ask any lawyer. Surely, it shapes public health policies and raises awareness to a proven health hazard. However, this is the only positive point I see, unless the party who won the large settlement would invest much of it back into the industry that harmed them. In most cases, we do not see that level of concern from people who win large settlements, making an easy judgment that they are out for the money.
Lawsuits also shape and reshape social norms or how we do business, for an example all lighters are childproof. This reflects lack of responsibilities or pure neglect on the part of the parent but the big industry suffered.

Considering lawsuits shape and many times restrict freedoms it accrues to me there must be a better way in promoting good eating habits. On the table right now, a lawsuit is attempting to restrict putting toys in the fun meals at McDonalds. Inciting that McDonalds are alluring children and parents to their brand that creates bad eating habits. I call it good marketing and it has created a tradition that should never be recalled by a lawsuit, it here that tort law is crossing the line.

When will Government wise up and start helping us, when the fix to unhealthy eating is at the agricultural level. Pricing or taxing impacts the competitive private sector in the direction it will go; the best price for the most goods. Reducing the price of healthy foods, fruits, vegetables, all organic foods and raising taxes at the slaughterhouse level would change the market in what product they will promote and sell. Raising the public awareness through large campaign ads, you know the ones that pharmaceutical companies run with vibrant happy people as actors.

In closing much of our young populist and children alike buy or are given the cheapest foods money can buy which happens to be the unhealthiest. Reshaping the price of agriculture would have much greater impact than removing toys from happy meals.
