I picked option 4 as I didn't feel like any other options fit my nation's style. While the 99.7% dip in Trout Farming was an obvious outcome, a 24.6% rise in obesity and a 13% rise in cheese exports shouldn't occur IMO.
As far as I'm concerned, veganism doesn't tolerate consumption of cheese or milk, so the obliteration of trout farming and a 13% rise in cheese export don't stack up well, many vegetarians make an exception for fish. The obesity spurt is inexplicable to me.
Oh and bleaching my rivers to get rid of fish lice cost me a third of my trout production, so I'm really at a loss for words here.
We should make a higher standard of food mandatory for all: vegetarian, vegan, organic. C’est magnifique!

I understand that the three words were listed together for humour purposes but... what exactly does my government enforce, then? Veganism or vegetarianism? You can't have both, veganism is inclusive of vegetarianism. If it's veganism, then Cheese industry should take a hit as big as Trout industry does. If it's vegetarianism, Trout industry shouldn't take a nosedive.

“Ignorance is the problem,” comments Mario Morchella, famed plumber and forest forager, passing you a peach he found near an old castle. “You should set up a system for training and licensing people who want to collect wild fungi, require collectors have the best field guide books, and ban any unlicensed individuals from mushroom gathering. Also, increase the number of park rangers, so these life-saving measures are properly enforced.”
This system involves education. Why did it go DOWN?

He gave her ample Francs to start this venture, and she’s lost it all. I always said, Molly should have been left to learn to succeed or fail on her own. If you’re going to invest taxpayer money in anything, it should be in subsidising business skills classes at community schools, to help children who haven’t already had every advantage.”
As a result my nation's industry spending increased while spending in other areas, including education decreased(as tax rate and economy did not increase nearly enough to cover industry)
Why would refusing to subsidise industry and instead subsidising classes in community schools lead to and increase in business subsidization? I would expect a decrease in business subsidization and a corresponding increase in education spending, since you're redirecting money that was being invested in industry and instead spending it on classes at community schools.

First, this reduced civil rights to a small degree, for which I really don't see a reason.
Second, I don't think the description of the option and its results, both in flavor text and in stats, match each other. The student is said to be a proponent of socialism. But then in the results, all the suggested social policies make a bunch of frat houses spring up? I don't know about you, but at my university, the socialists and the frat bros are diametrically opposed groups. Would be great if the option text could be adapted to better fit the results, or vice versa.
