It's more than that, we in the US are actively subsidizing sugar, making it cheaper and more available for use everywhere.
How many processed foods would contain sugar if it raised the price by a few cents per unit cost?
If we're going down the market path of "letting people choose," why not let them bear the real cost of sugar proliferation?
Hey it's a libertarian site talking about sugar subsidies:

For my part, since we're doing market-based stuff for diet, I'd rather end meat, dairy, and sugar subsidies entirely. (I'd actually rather we subsidize vegetables and so on, but I'd be okay with ending all of them.) Let people buy food as it really costs, and then let's see what the national diet looks like.
