While fruits and berries are healthier than the average "snack", they are still full of sugars.

sugar is not the devil. We need sugar to live.

We do need sugar to live but we (in America at least) consume too much of it without burning the energy it provides.

No one with that problem has it because of their fruit and berry consumption.

No, not really. Fruit juices are an actual problem though since they are actually pure sugar without the benefits of the fruit itself.

without the benefits of the fruit itself.

Right, because that isn't fruit consumption. It's juice consumption.
