As we had discovered since Leptin research, things that seemed simple and dumb and claimed with loud firm voices were more complex and smart that it seemed in retrospective.
Europe has not the same ratio of extreme obesity, while eating basically the same products, How would you explain that?
Some cities in US have much more overweight people than other similar cities, both eat basically the same corn subsidized and distributed by the entire territory. why?
It seems that low places down the river have more overweight people than high places up the river, why?
> It isn't politically realistic though to make food taste less good (i.e. less sweet) and increase prices, nor is it politically realistic to remove corn subsidies or create sugar taxes.
Other countries did it all the time. It was a more realistic goal for them (or they just didn't knew that it can't be done and did it anyway)?

They aren't the same products, since sugar is more expensive in Europe, they add less of it to the products. Add aggressive labeling laws on top of that and sugar taxes on top of that.
You can directly corroborate population sugar consumption with population BMI. You can also track the increase in BMI against the cost of sugar (i.e. lower it goes, the higher BMI goes) from 1970 to today.
