Through the media.
All part of what they are taught about "austerity" and who to blame for it.
Or the alternative answer is ...
They don't and therefore have no idea that sweet things are making them obese.
On the other hand as people are finally admitting that future generations are (mostly) unlikely to be able to ever retire (therefore probably a good thing that life expectancy is starting to fall?) enjoying life to excess in all things (including sweets) and not expecting a right to risk free eternal life might be a sensible option.
In which case I suppose the question of whether or not Goodwood is an accurate facsimile of history or not may simply become an opportunity to split the concept into two parts and give each part a different focus.
Maybe they could get the VSCC to help set up some Handicap races? A somewhat period correct race format surely?
