The original article was about lower-income "countries". I pointing out it's also in the US. So yeah, pretty much everywhere. Unless you have data to prove otherwise, you're wrong.

The original article was about how Nestle uses more sugar in products sold to certain poor countries, not about consumer trends in those countries.

Higher inequality does not predict more sugar consumption either.
