    Yeah that’s crazy. To me high sugar diets being the cause of obesity seems like common knowledge. It seems like these educational failings must be at some level intentional considering the US does better than other countries on education that have better obesity ratings and are also more impoverished to me. But I’m just going based on numbers I just looked up here. The added sugar in absolutely everything in North America seems like more of the culprit here to me. I live in Canada and our rating is about one in four where the US is close to 50 percent. I feel like we have similar issues with our food but that’s a significant difference in obesity. Our cities and towns are designed to be more walkable for sure, but we still don’t compare to places like Europe.
