Yeah, I agree. People really seem desperate to believe it all comes down to boogeyman adulterants, but it's a huge red herring and completely unnecessary for ending up with a culture of junk food, obesity, and calorie surplus. Drop dough into frying oil and then roll it in powdered sugar. Drop potato slices into frying oil and then salt them. You don't need boogeyman R&D chemicals to make food that you can't stop eating. What changed is the accessibility of these things. You can go to 7-11 and buy thousands of calories of packaged donuts for dollars. Combined with there only being junk food in US quickmarts compared to, say, cheap bento boxes in Japanese 7-11.
