100% juice is also sugary. And chocolate is good for you.

[vivenne]

Well, chocolate that is about 80%+ pure cocoa, otherwise it os processed abd has tons of sugar.

[dforest]

You can get juice without sugar.

[OKSooner]

True, and true.

Dark chocolate is better.

I like mine about 70%.

Fruits have Fructose sugar which does not require loads of insulin production by the pancreas to convert into energy used by muscle cells. Any calories not burned up from fruits is converted to fat by liver for future use. Humans evolved with millions of years of no refrigerators stocked with food. Getting food required lots of physical labor. That is why our genes like to conserve every ounce of excess calories ingested by converting it to fat. Fat is body’s saving account.

100% juice is as bad for you as soda.

[catnipman]

yep, and not even included are the fake juices, fake “sports” drinks”, sugared & flavored milk, sugared cereals, cakes, pies, and other a myriad of other pre-baked goods ... now add in chips, and you’re probably up to 50% of what snap is paid for ...

it would be far easier to list what SNAP would pay for than what it want:

a starter list:

meat and seafood in all forms (excluding added sweetener forms)

all forms of legumes (excluding added sweetener forms)

vegetables and fruits in all forms (excluding added sweetener forms as well as all fruit juice)

all WHOLE grains (excluding added sweetener forms)

milk and milk products in all forms (excluding added sweetener forms)

eggs in all forms

seed flour bread and corn bread, both risen and flat in all forms (excluding fried forms such as chips as well as all added sweetener forms)

all nuts (excluding added sweetener forms)

cooking oils and fats (excluding semi-synthetic forms such as anything made with hydrogenated oils)

baking supplies [excluding sweeteners] and seasonings

Are you just being obtuse? Are you the only one who doesn’t get it? Sheesh.

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.

Chocolate has it’s benefits, but sugar in it rots teeth, which I think medicaid pays to fix.
