 can decline the desire to eat too much. I somehow agree with the idea but I think we

 that are healthy as a replacement.
People
 tend to eat fast
food

 spend on them and absolutely make them decrease consuming these unhealthy

 consumer as an example that eats them every day, adding
tax
 to the price makes you think twice when you want to buy them and
as a result
, leads you to consume less.

In other words
, we can't force

For example
, introducing some nutritious vegetables and fruits and making them available everywhere is a nice policy that will encourage
people
 to use them more.
