[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with 20:35 except about the ice cream.  Sugar addiction is real and you do not want to enable it. [/quote]
Sugar addiction can be real but is more of a myth.  Same for carbs. This is nothing but a "new age" drivel for most people. The invention of some fad diet "doctors" read youtube gurus who are profiting off of people's gullibility. Most people have no problem regulating eating carbs, sugar, and the rest. We should never, ever, equate the few people with serious eating problems to the whole population. People who have this addiction are very few and in between.
 For a while, I restricted my sugar intake. Totally insane. Now I eat candy when I want, and I am able to moderate and easily. I am not saying some people are not addicted to sugar, but any restriction of any foods can lead to insane binging. Please do not equate children's eating habits to your own. No child should be told this is locked and you can't have it.[/quote]

And >70% of the country is overweight.  With the abundance of food of every kind, people aren't able to self regulate well.  Moderation and portions have to be learned and practiced. There is no way around it.  Skinny kids that "self-regulate" well in childhood still are growing into obese adults.  [/quote]
