If we were to decrease per capita sugar consumption by, let’s say, 15%, would you expect obesity to decrease?

I'm not a nutritionist, but that seems reasonable to me. Even if it doesn't help, it would still fuck over the sugar industry and I'm fine with that.

You’re in luck because that’s exactly what happened over the last 20 years and it’s had basically no affect on the increase in obesity[1]. I’m curious, does this information change your belief at all?
