Sarah? That you?
We're light years removed from being anywhere close to that scumbag's actions. He deliberately starved more than 7,000,000 people to death, real close to possibly making people concerned with what they eat, eh?
Anything consumed has the potential to create adverse events. there is no known substance that has no deliterious effects at some point in some people.
Rat poison is a blood thinner..warfrin.
Acetometaphin is a great suicide drug...taken in high doses.
Perhaps each person should be assigned a federal guardian.
The only reason to ban sugar would be the belief by the government agencies and bureaucrats that people are too stupid to fend for themselves. There is no other reason.

Its not pseudo science. The sugar in our diets begins to rot our teeth in minutes which you would think might be a clue something isn't normal and its not going to get any better down the digestive tract. Refined sugar is not found in nature in those quantities.
The issue is do I want a big brother state trying to save every fool?That answer is NO. I do lament that most use our freedom to no good end. The problem is despotism in the guise of brotherhood is an even worse end.
What's funny about these food regulations is that the same people that are for these bans and regulations are for making all drugs legal. Can someone explain this to me my head hurts trying to sort it out!
