[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm appalled by our culture's need to add sweetness to everything. Pasta sauce, bread, salad dressing, yogurt. I am convinced everything is sweeter (and in a different way) than it was when we were kids. I was trying to find a lower sugar bread for my kids and picked up one that was advertised as such only to find it had stevia in it. What's wrong with things being just...not sweet?[/quote]

Really? I have no problems finding all of the above without sugar.  Just read labels and there are plenty of options [/quote]

I am sort of appalled at how much sugar has been demonized in recent years. Many of you don’t remember the similar treatment “cholesterol” got and how we would recoil from butter. Pasta used to be considered a healthful choice in the 90s. I like to add a little sugar to my red sauce to balance the acidity.[/quote]

That’s different, and fine. But go look at the packaged bread aisle, condiments, packaged cereals, snacks, beverages, ice cream, etc. All full of sugar and especially corn syrup. It’s absolutely different than what you would have seen on the shelves when I was a kid and not in a good way. [/quote]
