I was with you until caffeine. How does caffeine addiction contribute to the obesity epidemic? Are you talking about addiction to caffeine leading to people consuming more sugary soft drinks?
I’m probably being naïve because 100% of my caffeine consumption comes from black coffee and tea.
Yeah I’m mostly talking about Sodas like pepsi, and but a big one is also colourful energy drinks like Redbull, Monster and Prime. Tons of ad money and sponsorships being thrown on these very unhealthy drinks.
On the coffee side, Tis the Pumpkin Spice Latte season from you-know-which chain. A 16oz cup of that has 150g caffeine, 9 grams(45% recommended DV) of saturated fats, and 50g of sugar. A 16oz Coca-Cola bottle contains a very similar amount of sugar at 52g. The special kinds of coffee at chain shops seem more like a caffeinated milkshake than coffee, nutritionally.
Regular coffee and tea aren’t bad but caffeine has to still be taken in moderation.

Caffeine CAN mess with a person’s cortisol levels which CAN affect weight.
Not everyone is affected the same way. However there is the tofi problem. Look it up.
