I am strongly against the fact that gov has direct point on this. Maby Politicians get incentivised to support big food companies. But then Politicians are only the tool. But the real bad guys are the big companies. And the laws that let them pay politicians without transparency. We need a big wave of transparency laws for democracies to work. How is our voting system free if we do not know who is paying?

I agree we need transparency, but there's no difference between big corp and government. We've had perfect transparency before, and they simply changed the laws and now its all clear as mud - so if we fix the democracy, it'll just happen again. IMO, we just need to abandon this idea of representative assemblies - its predatory on the public and the best thing that can be said about it is that its slow.
Slow often is good. Since what are good rules today probably also are in 1000 years. But I also think that representative democracy could may in this decade becoma obsolete when there are good working evoting systems. Then Democracies should be possible where every person can vote about every single law. So every law has direct legitimacy in majorities.
