My ex wife would have juice delivered by Schwans. I showed her one day, how many calories and carbs are in that “crap”. She replied, IT IS JUICE. I ended up with three obesed daughters, and of course the ex has a two axle handle behind too.

“”My ex wife would have juice delivered by Schwans. I showed her one day, how many calories and carbs are in that “crap”. She replied, IT IS JUICE. I ended up with three obesed daughters, and of course the ex has a two axle handle behind too.””

I call it the ‘sugar push’. Think about it. The more people that become diabetic or overweight from sugar, the more Big Pharma rakes in more millions. So is Big Pharma really in control of most of the food that reaches the shelves now via kickbacks, $$$ under the table, so to speak?

And something else I consider might be a bit insidious.... is the unavailability of unsweetened instant tea now. Lipton and Nestea used to make a powdered instant tea with no sugar. My mom used to make it all the time, rather than using tea bags. It was affordable, quick, convenient, easy and no calories... and it tasted good. But guess what? It is no longer available. Only very expensive instant tea or instant tea with sugar or with artificial lemon flavoring is on the market now. My question is..... why? Why would they remove a product that was that good? Did Big Pharma not like the “unsweetened” part? I have to wonder.
