STOP IT!!!!
Get OFF the bandwagon please!
/rant over... but still raise your hand if you agree

A whole industry has been created over what is good or bad, when the answer is balance and moderation.
But above the sound of the horse (meat burger) riding into the distance, could be heard the banging of a stable gate.....

oh it's just doing my head in
Sugar needs taxing apprarently....
now I hate people buying 2 or 3 cans of coke per day.. it won't do them good.. I have drunk that much coke / Dr Pepper daily for a short time and it's sugar high, sugar low.
But.,. personally.. I do chug the odd carton of Torpicana.. in fact on this VERY FORUM years ago I suggested it as a good perk up, and you lot rightly killed me for suggesting it. Route to Diabetes... true enough.
but once... per month... down to me really.
Same with chocolate/sweets
No one thinks it's doing them good.. do they?
And "hidden calories"?
it's sweet.. it tastes sweeet.....
it's sweet......!
It's the food manufacturers fault, mainly. Everyone panics about fat, so they cut all the fat out of the food. That makes it taste rubbish, so they stuff it full of sugar.
Honestly, I think there's more truth in it than the fat campaign as well - personally, cutting out fat makes little difference, but cutting out sugar makes all the difference. The slight problem is that starch = sugar, which is what I cut out, so, erm, railing against sugar probably isn't going to be much help. Not when everyone's replacing it with bread, pasta and potatoes.

Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
Unless you're going to burn it off pretty quickly doing intense CV exercise, you don't really need any carbs at all. Better to fuel body off fats.
and now that's bonkers too.....
so no carbs....?
no spuds, no pasta.. no bread.. no rice....
why is that good?
veg and fruit have carbs throughout them.. natural sugars.. so surely to goodness you'll get carbs eating a normal diet and you'll use them.
OK. Reverse it. Why do you eat rice and grains? What nutritional benefit do you get?
Mashed up grains cooked with yeast loaded with huge quantities of carbs as our staple food? Strange now I'm outside looking in. How it became so normal? At least sugar is honest.
You eat carbs for the same reason you eat cakes and biscuits.
They taste nice ;-)
/another hand up
Like you say it was fat and now sugar. I've also heard the odd one about proteins.
Unfortunately it's not currently available on iPlayer, but this is a brilliant show documenting the whole sugar vs fat hysteria. I won't spoil the outcome, but it's *really* worth watching, especially for anyone who thinks completely removing one of them from their diet is a sensible thing to do. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03t8r4h
It seems like it's currently available on Dailymotion if you Google it.
Sugar is good!
If only we could get products with sugar here! Everything that would be made with sugar in the UK is made with Corn Syrup here because it's cheaper. It tastes disgusting.
mixed with meat and vegetables...?
I get a meal fullfilling what my body needs
There is a rationale for banning the sale of any processed food apart from "primary" e.g. harvesting / slaughter / milling, with the only exception being eating outlets if they perform it on the same site. Oh and yes taking food away would be allowed.
The only real issue is the amount of employment tied up within Processed Food Manufacturing, which is admittedly a large one...
If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"
Too right, even fizzy drinks taste horrible in the US, compared to the UK equivalent.
Not to mention the colours are usually wrong.
Corn syrup is invading here too, you are spot on, it tastes foul. I have pretty much stopped buying sweet biscuits and some brands of chocolate because of it. Low calorie drinks with artificial sweeteners Tate foul (to my taste buds) too.
So I bake cakes, with sugar and fat in them, but eat them in moderation. I bake my own bread too, I know what goes in them too.
Cutting out one source of energy or body building material is not an answer, its a question of balance and moderation.
When I was a nipper, I went off to school fuelled by a cooked breakfast every morning
, that was after cereal and before toast. I had a basic two course school dinner (when they were cooked on the premises, and freshly prepared) and a light tea when I came home. But I was fairly active and burnt the calories off.
A lot of vitamins are vat soluble, so cutting fat out of a diet is not good. We have dentition ad a digestive system that has evolved to eat an omnivorous diet, but a balanced one.
We seem to have lost the sense of balance, coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle.
