Looking at the levels of obesity in the U.S., I consider the 26th place a true miracle of American medicine. If it can prevent people who devastate their bodies with junk food for decades from dying at 50 ...
On the other hand, imagine the world where Coca-Cola makes billions on healthy drinks, people are slim and fit until they die, and half of the money spent on treatment of chronic diseases of excess can be used for something else.
This is not unique to the US. Can't really say "but we only have 25% obesity here" and call that any kind of win. Maybe the US leads in this regards (though it varies by region, some areas have European-level obesity rates), but obesity is a worldwide problem.
