No, it is not a choice. What you see as sitting on your ass eating stuff even when you know it’s bad for you, is classic addictive behavior. To what you ask? All the added sugar to processed food. The industry loves what you wrote though.they rely on it for them to avoid the music of taxation, education in schools and people like me avoiding their junk and eating real food.

We know it is incredibly addictive, and damaging, yet we have yet to start taxing sodas and juices, for example. That would be a good start. Over 50 countries already do.

The other, get the food industry out of the school lunch business and only have water for kids in school, and no more birthdays with cake. While at it, teach children actual nutrition.

Fun fact, obesity is not about calories, but hyperinsulemia, ok. And even sugar free drinks get your pancreas releasing insulin. And the cost to society are 12–15 year olds in the transplant list for fatty livers, and some of them got those juices as part of the WIC program
