I think that saying "it's all the voter" tends to shut down thinking about the real alternatives for fixing problems
There are plenty of real alternatives for fixing problems that involve the voter: Education, access to information, encouraging cultural changes, etc.
In part, I was countering the previous poster who was blaming the 'Industry' boogey man, for why sugar has done the damage it has - but not mentioning the culpability of a government so easily influenced by money and then voters so easily influenced by politicians who don't have their constituents' interests at heart.
As you say, it's complex. But, we could talk about fixes on HN all day, but until voters elect smart politicians with integrity who will implement fixes, it's all just academic.
