From the article:

People who live with diet-related diseases, especially obesity, usually have a strong feeling of guilt, thinking they are the problem due to their own lack of willpower. Researchers now know this isn’t true. This food has been engineered to be addictive. We need to shift the blame away from the population.

Just a detail, but yes! Legislators, please help our society to not suffer under the downsides of capitalism.
