Policy interventions can play a crucial role in mitigating the negative impact of fast food on public health. Implementing regulations such as taxation on sugary drinks, mandatory nutritional labeling, and restricting fast food advertising—especially to children—can help reduce consumption. Additionally, promoting access to healthy foods through subsidies and improving urban planning to increase the availability of healthier food options are effective strategies. Schools and workplaces can also implement policies to provide healthier food choices, contributing to better dietary habits.
