If wine is just grapes, it must be vegan-compatible, right? But it isn't! Not only is wine sometimes made with products like nuts and milk, it can even be made using fish guts! https://www.organicwine.com.au/what-makes-a-wine-vegan A French wine maker told me this. I had no idea...these "extras" are not on the label.
Alcohol producers have fought really really hard against nutrition labels on their products.
"But instead of becoming healthier, [America] grew fatter and sicker." Complex topic, but this sentence to me was the most interesting from the story; in part, because of how much focus is put on solving problems that do not harm nearly as many Americans being over weight & unhealthy. It be curious to know if this topic has even come up once in America's election.
Overweight and unhealthy are very different things. There is never been a scientific study that showed being overweight (not obese) causes health problems. And the opposite causality (weight gain resulting from unrelated health problems) is incredibly common. Julie Guthman's book "Weighing In" goes into detail.
