Good Morning and welcome back to the Internet!
So, there's a report out this morning that we in America eat too much sugar.
Now, this smacks as one of those studies like the one where the sun comes up every day. No kidding. Anybody who doesn't think we eat too much sugar also believes government death panels are coming down the pike.
Uh, never mind.
Anyway, I can tell you right now there is a big sugar conspiracy out there. It's a death panel of another sort.
We are inundated with sugar. It is put into everything (or so it seems). Soda (the leader of the sugar dump), french fries, bread, juice (although all that natural sugar should be enough) and butter.
Let's not even get into high fructose corn syrup, that's a death panel of another kind.
Anyway, last year we went sugar-free for a couple of months.
The withdraw from the stuff by one 7-year old boy was probably akin to heroin withdrawal. There were mood swings. Yelling. Throwing. Fighting.
By the end of two months, though, it wasn't even missed.
Of course, asking somebody to give up sugar would be like asking them to keep an open mind about health care reform.
'This is America, dammit, and I'll keep piling it on if I want. Besides, I'm getting a diet coke with my Big Mac."
All right, maybe we can't eliminate it, but we can limit the stuff. Right?
