Sugar was popular way before industrial food processing was a thing. If you look at old paintings of monarchs and other elite people, even pre-industrial food very frequently led to obesity if you were rich enough.

I’m not sure how people can eat the sorts of food that largely lead to obesity. Most foods taste revoltingly sweet to me. You can’t even purchase plain shredded frozen potatoes in the US, as every brand adds sugar. I don’t even enjoy cooking fresh food, it’s just the only thing I can stomach

They put less than a gram a serving in some brands because it helps with the maillard reaction. You aren’t tasting that, your looking for something to screech at.
You’re also just wrong and probably not actually looking for what you claim.
It took me all of literally 10 seconds to find this and other popular frozen potato brands. The only one that had added sugar was oreida and it was under a gram.

You speak as though I’ve personally offended you. You’re not you when you’re hungry. Grab a snickers, a candy bar that sends my gut tumbling

Well yes, I used hyperbole to make a point about foods that are actively killing your people, and you became irate. Remind me never to show you my fishing pictures

I find the more I eat of sugary or fatty food the more I can handle. My body seems to get used to it. So I’m guessing how people do it is they slowly increase over time without noticing.
Hell, maybe they do feel like shit all the time but don’t associate it with their diet.
