I’m in favor banning sugar and sugar products like HFCS. Sugar more closely resembles a drug than a food source. Ever see a kid drink their first coke? It’s like they took a snort of Cocaine. For a long time we didn’t see the negatives in sugar consumption today it’s looking more and more like its a drug with no health benefits that does long term damage to people’s health.
There’s a book called “the Case against Sugar” where the author Gary Taubes tracks how ills like diabetes and obesity closely track the increased availability of sugar.
So when do we start banning caffeine,which is bad for you in large quantities, then cookies? Pies? Ice cream? And honey isn’t really any better than for you than sugar.
I expect in a decade that some law will pass cutting 50-percent of the sugar content in sodas...basically ruining the taste we expect, but finally correcting the health issue.
I can remember as a kid, the short-glass bottle (six-ounce I guess) being the normal sized Coke that I might consume (as a treat). Today? The same kid might consume 30 ounces per day.
I am in favor of banning you little liberal.
Sugar is not a drug. It is not bad for you. And other people's food choices are none of your business.
Now go take a long walk off a short pier.
Sugar is a a preservative———and you want to ban it?

The “sugar high” is a myth. Stop believing junk science.
