[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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] No, it’s not just pizza. It’s little things. It’s how they hide 20g of sugar in a yogurt and 50g in coffee, how sugar has ten different names on ingredient label and you may not know them, how you have to be a god damn expert at reading labels to know the food additives and coloring to avoid. Why do we have to teach children to decipher ingredients labels? Why can’t we have food standards?[/quote] “They hide 20g of sugar” Are you this passive in real life? Eating whatever “they” sell you? Read the labels. It’s all right there. Buy the yogurt without any added sugar. It says “plain”. I buy the full fat plain yogurt and add real fruit to it (fresh or frozen). It doesn’t take a genius to read a food label. There are standards in labeling. It’s required and has all you need to know to make an informed decision. That list of food you rattled off, I don’t even need to read the label to know it’s not healthy, but if you didn’t know, the label would tell you how much crap is in there. Would you buy a car or appliance without doing independent research or would you trust the Super Bowl ads wholeheartedly? [/quote]
