[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can buy “whole grain” bread and turkey from Walmart and it’s going to be [b]filled with preservatives and sugar.  [/b]Bread that has a shelf life of months? Seriously?

You just don’t get how the quality of food can impact your life.[/quote]

Yes, the whopping 2-3 g of sugar per slice.

Yep, it’s 2-3 grams here, a few grams if crap over there and it all adds up.[/quote]

What adds up is the 4th slice of pizza, the multiple sodas, beers, handfuls of fries, snacking.  [/quote]
But it's all started from 3 g here 5 grams there sugar everywhere is not a big deal approach. 
Added sugar is a big deal in fighting obesity, the sooner society agrees on that the better for the health of that society.[/quote]

Ah, no sorry.  It didn’t “all start” with a couple grams of sugar in wheat bread or ketsup.  It started with chocolate milk, Cocoa Puffs, kool-aid, white bread bologna sandwiches, cheeseburgers, totino’a pizza rolls, Little Debbie.  The excuses here are bananas. Speaking of bananas, maybe it is their fault because they are high in sugar too[/quote]

Except that PP is correct. Let’s take yogurt, for example. Out of 50+ options in the case, which one has a reasonable amount of sugar?

Plain. That’s it. And at my Giant, at least, there are maybe 4 options to choose from, only one or two of which are not fat free, which is vile and come with other things you don’t want to consume.

Personally, I’d rather skip the sugar in yogurt, and bread, and ketchup, so my kids can enjoy it in a damn cookie. But it’s not easy to avoid, unless I quit my full time job so I can prepare everything from scratch.[/quote]

So you get plain yogurt.  Flavored yogurt is...flavored.  What is the issue? Don’t get it if you don’t want it. Look at the label.  Some people eat yogurt as dessert, some a snack, some a condiment, some an ingredient for a recipe, some as a main part of breakfast.  There are different yogurts with varying amount of sugar added or no sugar added to meet everyone’s wants and needs.  The food industry isn’t tricking you
