> I think there’s an Overton Window of “food” and over the last century we’ve come to accept things that are predominantly just calories under the umbrella of “food.” This doesn't make sense. Calories are food. Energy is the primary thing you need to eat food for. Yes you also need other things and eating too much calories is bad but that doesn't make things that are purely calories not food. Also the refrain about soda being just sugar water misses the point. The water is the good part. The issue isn't that there aren't any fibers or whatever in there but that there is too much sugar per water.
