Adding to the chorus of professors trying to argue away personal responsibility, the University of California Davis' J.

The solution for the obesity epidemic is to double the minimum wage, which would result in an 80 percent increase in fast-food prices. A large increase in prices would reduce fast-food consumption just like the increase in cigarette taxes reduced cigarette consumption.
