IMHO price of calories is the only thing that needs to change. All the talk about wholesome locally grown foods vs. processed industrial stuff is just moralizing and posturing, when the metric that matters is the price. Just look at Coke, which is arguably not even a good example because of pre-war price fixing, but still it costs half as much as in 1950 when adjusted for inflation.

Tax each calorie $1 and give everyone $2000/day.

(You’ll quickly end up with another underground white powder economy though…)
