the biggest killer in the country is sugar.
there is a trillion dollars spent annually on sugar related healthcare. Alcohol causes only about 250 billion in health care related expenses.
Killer, perhaps so. But is it turning this county into snowflakes and gurly-mans?
Our sugar problem is older than the Constitution. Slaves were brought west originally to grow sugar cane in the Caribbean. George Washington had false teeth. Soft drinks go back over a century.
Something new has happened in the past half century.
