Many people see the current food system is designed in a way that makes fatty foods cheap, which would seem the opposite of what you would want in a systemic solution. Don't subsidize things that add to the problem.MIT suggests a system in need of lean thinking - locally produced food. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/foodshed.html I would like to know what proposals he has that do strike at the root cause.

That and the cut in pay. The Surgeon General makes about $153,000 per year. Dr. Gupta makes considerably more than that at CNN. He reportedly also makes between $30,000 and $50,000 for each speaking engagement he does.

I believe, but am not sure, that President Obama originally offered the Surgeon General position to Dr. Gupta, but he declined. Given his added dimension of intuitive Lean thinking, he might have been very good.
