The rest of the world does not have that corn-based sugar that American food is laced with

Oh, I don't think that's true at all. While the USA does have an increasing obesity problem, so does everywhere else in the developed world. And the UK has a similar problem, not to mention Mexico. Even countries like the Philippines, which until recently had a good diet based on fish and rice, is now experiencing public health issues because of obesity and hypertension. Last time I was in the Philippines it was unbelievable how much Coca-Cola and soft drinks I saw being consumed. Way more than back here at home. And Coke has the place covered in advertising.
