[QUOTE="DHG1078, post: 15129186, member: 65442"] We don't need government to tell us how to eat, we just need people do take accountability for what they choose to eat. If you eat McDonalds 3 meals a day, and never exercise, you're going to get fat. Uncle Sam doesn't need to step in to prevent you from doing so. Everything in moderation is ok, IMHO. Are sugars bad for you? yes. So are a lot of other things, but a little bit here and there won't kill you. Hell, white bread is bad for people too, yet I bet most here eat quite a bit of it. Choosing what foods/beverages you eat/drink purely off of sugar content isn't the answer. I don't eat any candy really. I have the occasional dark chocolate, and frozen yogurt. I drink lots of tea. In the summer, there isn't anything better than a nice cold sweet tea, and in the winter I like a hot tea with a small amount of sugar. I drink lots of water as well though. I drink sodas when I have to eat out for lunch or something if they don't have an iced tea I like. I consider myself to be pretty healthy despite all that sugar. I am not diabetic, nor am I obese. My weight was actually on the LOW side of healthy due to all the exercise I had. I was always active. I am less active in sports and things now, but still a healthy normal weight. [/QUOTE]
