Twenty years ago, I met a couple with a young son who decided not to let the kid have sugar. I wonder how that might have worked out for the kid now that he's grown.

I assume the kid hit 18 and went on a sugar binge as soon as he tasted it the first time.

Anyone have experience with this?

You also lived during the "fat" craze. Fat was deemed bad so manufacturers filled their food with sugar so they could market it as low fat.

It's Capitalism all the way down

    Fuck Kellogg and the Seventh Day Adventists.

    Religious zealots ruin everything.

    Well, religions ruin everything but they require puppets to do the work.

    I mean I agree with the sentiment, but the seventh day Adventists were specifically making really low sugar, very bland cereals because they thought that would make people less horny or something. I don't think they are to blame for high sugar content

    Low sugar doesn't mean low carb and they promoted carb heavy diets over proteins and fats which are absolutely essential. They infiltrated organizations to push scientifically unsound bullshit which led to the obesity epidemic.

    What did the Seventh Day Adventists do?

    They're directly responsible for the demonization of meat and fats which led to carb heavy diet recommendations which, in turn, caused the obesity epidemic.

    Also, they're a bunch of religious zealots which are categorically a threat to egalitarian democratic societies.

    What even is the justification for demonization of meat?
