I had similar criticisms as well.  Although the government conspiracy is pretty compelling. Companies actively promote over consumption, not necessarily to make people fat, but to make the most money, regardless of consequences. But all it takes is a little self awareness on part of the consumer. But it's pretty fucking devious how the DV for sugar isn't even listed on food packaging. Because the numbers would be outrageous. We are literally being over fed sugar and actively decieved on how much we are consuming. As someone who isn't even fat this will still be detrimental to my health. I've been working on cutting it out.
