Reply to The implementation of a soft drinks industry levy in the UK in 2018 was associated with an 8% reduction in obesity among 10-11 year old girls with the greatest reductions seen in those living in the most deprived areas. No such association was found in 10-11 year old boys or younger children. by shiruken
While it doesn't sound like a great result initially I think it's important to remember that the only major country with more affordable food in the entire world is the USA and that the tax itself is fairly small. It's not like it has caused soft drinks to double in price or anything like that.

Outside the west it is far harder to move out to the point average people are unable to do it, whereas in the west the average person can accomplish it.
This is why there is more stigma in the west and than elsewhere.
