Americans DO NOT KNOW the health dangers of sugar. This is even admitted by some posters in this thread.and just what do you propose the governemnt do, ban sugar?Yet our government refuses to do anything about it.Thanks for posting.
I'd wager that sugar is our Number 1 killer, and has been for 50 years.
People will eat what they want to eat and it's none of your business
I understand that line of thinking, and agree with the principle of it in most cases.
But not this time. The fact is Skull, it IS our business. Because terrible eating habits cost every single one of us a LOT in healthcare premiums. Healthcare cost would dramatically decline if people ate better. Therefore they should be paying more since they contribute to the problem so much more than those who don't.
We'll have to disagree.
No one has any right for any reason to tell anyone else how to eat, whether or not to smoke, drink, etc.
Health care is expensive because insurance companies collude with the medical industry to hide actual costs.
If people knew what all their medical care actually costed them then we could bring real market pressure to the medical industry.
We need to reject the idea that we have the right to dictate how others behave.
Don't try to minimize this problem.
Cut the shit.
