Mandate prominent labeling (not just the tiny print on the back of the box) for foods to disclose the sugar content, including on restaurant menus.

Work on making cities more walkable and adding more parks and greenways where possible. Expand bike sharing programs and make sure there are places where people can bicycle safely.

Address remaining food deserts where fresh foods are hard to get and/or more expensive than processed foods.

Policies aimed at increasing worker pay and reducing the hours Americans are working should help with obesity like it would with a lot of things. When people are working long hours and don't have a lot of money to spend on meals it should be no wonder they often prioritize what's quick and cheap rather than what's going to be best for their health.
