In my opinion, the major cause of obesity is laziness, not sugar.
If people who complained about sugar would spend the same amount of
time exercising, they wouldn't have an obesity problem.

Hm, if I went by empirical evidence, I would say skinny people drink
regular Coke and obese people drink diet Coke, therefore Nutrasweet
causes obesity. (don't bother to respond to this paragraph, I know what
is going on.)
