[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Nanny State PING, old mates of mine!

[Red Badger]

The announcement came after Dame Sally Davies, Britain's chief medical officer, suggested a sugar tax to curb obesity rates.

It's not just the sugar, it's ALL the carbs. Eat too many carbs of any kind and you will put on weight. Man does not live by bread alone, in fact it will kill you off early.........

[P-Marlowe]

If you are living in some UN supported Hell hole with a distended stomach and flies in your eyes, you don’t need a bowl of alfalfa sprouts and kale, you need sugar.

[SIDENET]

Can't they just ban it, or something?

Then there is the “hidden” sugar.. carbs Here’s the carb formula..... Carbs minus fiber divided by 5 = #tsp sugar. 6 tsps is really easy to reach through carbs.

I’m not a particular sweets eater, and I gave up pop a couple of years ago. But I use up half that allotment just in my morning coffee.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

You know, once EVERYTHING is ‘(contra)banned,’ none of this stuff is going to matter. These Nanny Staters are putting themselves out of business.

(But don’t tell them that. Tee-Hee!)

Wow! Wish I had seen this before I finished off the bag of Speckled Malted Milk Eggs. Lol

Excuse me while I search for the bon bon box.

hmm...Your brain runs on glucose like a car runs on gas. Glucose is a sugar. Therefore, halving your sugar intake means your brain won’t run as efficiently.

I don’t see anything wrong with that...if your goal is to get people to stop thinking as much...

[Psalm 144]

No application to body type, size or activity. One worlders are so damnably boring.
