I expect enthusiastic police support for monitoring and confiscating objectionable materials.
Sounds like a self-provided title.
I am tired of these food Nazis. It seems like everything that tastes good is bad for you. I’d rather die with a Big Mac on my breath than eating tofu knee deep in feces in an occupier tent!
The comments that follow this are spooky. People just want to line up and be treated like sheep.
Well, I hoarded 12 years of 100 watt bulbs and I can just as easily hoard 12 years of sugar.
GET OUT OF OUR LIVES ALREADY!!!
Great, soon we’ll have to go to a Sweeteasy for our sugar fix.
Some conservatives want to subsidize sugar, and some liberals want to regulate it. Let’s get them together and create some sort of a government program. What could possibly go wrong?
Hey Laura. Go make me a sandwich. Then iron my shirt.
You're an idiot.
Either promote outlawing the substance or get a real job.
My friends father just died at age 93. 15 years of alzheimers and diabetes and all the time in a hospital/nursing home.
You really think regulating sugar would have helped??
Just go away!!! Stop being stupid.
I am pro-choice on sugar. It should be safe and legal. No more back-alley sugar buys.
I can't understand why.
I study the health of whole societies
I've spent more than 20 years studying the best possible ways to address alcohol problems in societies
I work as a professor in the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine and at the UCSF Clinical and Translational Science Institute
You should have taken a course on Narcissistic Personality Disorder while you were at UCSF, you insufferable nag.
Flat out GUILTY!
This is the same group of wannabees that have given us smoking bans, increased tobacco taxes and are working to have moving ratings include the use of tobacco products as one of the criteria.
Come to think of it, this could be fun. Like when my grandmother made homemade beer during Prohibition.
I could clandestinely sell back-alley cookies and fudge. Hmmmm, mysterious goings-on at married21’s house... kids arriving at all hours of the afternoon, with a crazed, hungry look in their eyes, leaving with little baggies...
I remember reading once (sorry, couldn’t find the source) that the three developed nations that consume the most cane sugar were Switzerland, Israel, and Singapore. Intuitively, that makes sense.
Of course, those are the countries where people are keeling over at age 50...
No, that’s wrong. Those countries all have average lifespans of over 80.
If anyone has a source that can confirm or refute my memory, please post. Thanks.
Unlike the junk science that is "global warming" however, the science behind America's enormous rate of obesity is simple and believable: high-fructose corn syrup - cheap sugar - is now the second or third largest ingredient in most packaged foods.
Sugar makes you fat, and pretty much everything we eat has enormous amounts of sugar added to it.
If someone puts five packets of sugar in their coffee people say: "Hey, want some coffee with your sugar?"
But a 12oz can of Coke has 13 packets' worth of sugar in it, and most people drink the 20oz nowadays instead of the can. The 20oz has the equivalent of 21 packets of sugar.
It's painfully obvious what's going on - there's no need for laws, just common sense.
I don’t need a mommy telling me to eat my vegetables and wash behind my ears.
Eating to many refined carbohydrates causes as much damage as to much sugar. Is she going to ban bread also?
