I’m not doing the moaning this morning… you are!
You’ll be moaning, wailing and gnashing your teeth, when you see the facts about sugar consumption.

Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

Since cutting down my sugar consumption most of those items pictures are too sweet and I can’t stand the taste any more. Luckily I don’t eat/drink any of those on your list.

>lsf, I have sugar only in my coffee. Juice, tea, all without. Dark chocolate (60% cocoa) I eat 50gms per day, less sugar than indicated, it’s good for the heart. Nothing else in that image I eat.

I gave up milk chocolate for either dark or baking cocoa to reduce the sugar. I don’t drink juice as I prefer the whole fruit. When I was younger I could have lived on sugary items. A bowl of cereal had so much sugar on it to cover up the taste of milk, giving up cold cereals and milk eliminated that need.

I don’t drink boxed juice, only what I make at home. I used to be the same with cereals, now I just drink milk.
