Sodas in the US have about 6 - 7 times the amount of sugar as the rest of the world.

And? It's fuckin' soda, nobody goes in expecting health food.

And...it can be important to understand the specific nutritional content of things we put in our bodies and not think of it as a binary between "health food" and "everything else." Otherwise if I'm not drinking water I might as well just drink kerosene, right?

There are also cultural and socioeconomic things to understand around how different industries operate around the world and how different globally-available products differ in different markets. Like how Pizza Hut in Japan offers a pizza with mayo and diced potatoes.
