Fascinating statistics. As obesity rates have skyrocketed in the US and UK, sugar consumption has declined rapidly. This is a serious problem for anyone promoting sugar consumption (especially food companies adding sugar) as the cause of the problem. https://twitter.com/ggkuhnle/status/1092143217213140993 …
Structural overproduction in agriculture probably doesn't help, but that crisis predates the beginning of the obesity epidemic by some distance

That doesn't sound right to me at all. The problem is not that there's too much food, but that people don't self-regulate the appropriate amount. In fact the people who struggle the most to pay for their meals tend to be more obese, rather than less.

Sure, but food prices aren't the reason people are struggling to pay. Housing, medical care, transportation and education have all gone up steeply in price over that period, but food hasn't, at least to my understanding.
