I don’t mean in a chemical way I understand that part
I mean in a “why would they have to change the recipe for the us” way

My 2 cents, having grown up in the US, lived 4 years in Germany, now returning to the US and not jazzed about the Idiocracy here…
In the EU, the gov pays for universal healthcare, so naturally they want you healthy. A healthy person is less expensive to maintain. They passed laws to keep you from poisoning your body with shit you didn’t need, i.e. dyes and HFCS (with the exception cigarettes… Still don’t understand that one). The EU folks also rely heavily on walking for transit. You can’t feed yourself shit day after day and move around as easily. Movement and exercise is a cultural norm.
In the US, the gov is full of capitalists with their hands in each other’s pockets. They don’t fund your healthcare, but they do in fact profit from you being sick and feeling like shit all the time. Not directly and overtly, but there’s funding and favors and money changing hands beyond your wildest dreams that we’re slowly uncovering. You can eat shit foods and drink shit drinks and sit on your ass all day feeling lazy… you don’t ever have to walk too far, and hardly any towns are walkable anymore. Further, the chemically made US Fanta is cheaper to produce and lasts longer, thus fattening the pockets of corporations. Many many US produced foods are loaded with sugar making a sugar drink need more “sugar” to taste sweet to our destroyed pallettes.
My opinions.
