“And obesity will be reduced yugely in United States, which will unleash amazing health benefits to Americans.”
Most fat people are on food stamps.
Uncle sugar will make sure they stay fat.
Everyone else will simply pay twice as much...or more...for the same sane, healthy diet.
So no, there is no upside.
Fat people are never without food.....even if they have to steal it they will.
I eat my share of sugar because I never met a dessert I did not like. But I have weighed the same for for 40 years. It is mainly because I have exercised regularly. Most fat people I see look like they have never seen inside of a gym.
