Meh, as a non-american it seems like a specious list of aspirations that Americans themselves defined. Odd to pick out historical prices of sugar when... you know. They'd really have to have screwed something up for sugar of all commodities to be more expensive than in the middle ages. Deaths from Heart disease and smoking are down, but obesity has reached absurd levels. Productivity gains largely captured by so many other people and things, including hedonism. America has a lot of positive attributes as a visitor, but this is a deeply unconvincing article and it would take a monumental evolution for me to want to live there long-term. They do have a certain tenacity though, I'll give them that.
