On “Obesity and Overweight Prevalence for the U.S”
Sugar seems to be a major driver of this development. The main problem is likely excessive sugar and especially fructose consumption starting with the emerge of cheap HFCS in most products. Dr. Robert Lustig has put a lot of research into the causes of the obesity crisis. He goes into great detail in his lectures on YouTube link to this video He also argues against the "gluttony and sloth" prejudice by saying that you eat too much and move to little as a consequence of messed up hormones due to excessive fat. Not the other way around. The problem is probably more dimensional but the correlation between increasing Sugar/HFCS amounts in foods and the onset of obesity seems to be pretty strong.

On “Fructose reprogrammes glutamine-dependent oxidative metabolism to support LPS”
For anyone interested in a detailed explanation of fructose metabolism (and why it's bad for you), I'd highly recommend these two talks by Robert Lustig on the subject. The first one is about how the body reacts to fructose, and the second video is a follow-up that emphasizes how fructose has contributed to the obesity epidemic in the US and elsewhere. link link to this video

On “Japan: The land that doesn't need Ozempic”
If by lifestyle you mean behavioral disorder, It seems to me that the science from the last 10 years is starting to point in the opposite direction. If I may recommend, there is a great presentation by Dr. Robert Lustig called "Fat Chance: Fructose 2.0". 0: link to this video

On “Why Americans Have Been Deceived About Canada's Health Care System”
I don't think having everybody insured would be the criteria for it being working either. I came across a lecture about how metabolic syndrome treatment accounts for a large chunk of health care spending (75% 0), and there's a lot of blame put on added sugars and processed foods. A large push for preventative care would be ideal. 0 link to this video
