>Certainly we consume shitloads of sugars— but for a great many of us its all that is available.
The proportion of people who don't have access to a kitchen and a grocery store is far less than the proportion of people consuming too much sugar.
The widespread popularity products with added sugar, such as soda, coffee flavored drinks, sweetened breads (donuts, etc), is by far the bigger factor in overconsumption of sugar.
