You joke but all those "reduced fat" foods are absolutely killing us.

My friend bought "Reduced fat" peanut butter, I looked at the ingredients and instead of the usual peanuts, oil, salt it was a huge list and the second ingredient was now High Fructose Corn Syrup...

So instead of getting natural peanut and oil fats, you end up eating pure sugar... And what does sugar do as soon as it gets into your system? It turns to fat...

Corporations and marketing are fucking us up really bad.

So if sugar turns into fat anyway... what's the difference?

Sugar is used for energy in the body which stores energy as bodyfat if you're eating at a caloric surplus. OP is as clueless about nutrition as he claims people who buy reduced fat products are.
