Yeah… so the food that would have only been available to those with excessive wealth is now available to everyone, leading to problems that used to be reserved to those who could afford excessive calories being the problems of everyday people.
The markets responding by promoting extremely cheap calories from industrial sugar sources rather than cane cut by hand by (relative to a machine or petrochemical processes extremely costly) slave labour is really just a natural consequence of capitalism feeding capitalists.
It’s not the food killing people, it’s the people selling the food that are killing people.
