I certainly did!... & continue to be amazed at the HUGE amounts of
sugar that's being pushed on consumers. Everywhere you go, sugar over veggies. Very awful & sad. No wonder diabetes is on the rise in North America. No wonder this nation has the most over weight people. When you shop, there's more aisles devoted to packaged, artificially flavoured, chemical treats than fresh natural foods. In malls, fast food dominates fresh food. It's easier (read: lazier) to pick up a bag of chips or chocolate bar than wash a piece of fruit for a snack. And no wonder, we've been raised on sugar! If there wasen't so much of it around, taking over, being advertised in all media as the way to eat, we would pick healthy over unhealthy! We're addicted! It's all about convenience. We need to get back to home cooking. Knowing what we're putting in our mouths & taking responsibility for our bodies.
