The anti-sugar thing is now mainstream (check Twitter for #sugarrush).

Which makes me wonder: what's the next big anti fad just round the corner?

    So was buying houses in 2000 with sub standard lending. That went well.

    Does it make you wonder if it isn't just a fad?

    Nevermind, I shouldn't ask that here. LOL

    I hear ya.

    Thing is, Jamie Oliver is blaming sugar for the obesity crisis as opposed to people just eating too much.

    I can't be bothered to get into a Twitter argument but it's ripe for the taking as everyone is now thinking Jamie Oliver is a god, with some idiots saying he should be PM.

    I would get involved if, like him, I could value some PR and get my name out there but right now I have nothing to market.

    Create an answer then make up a problem for it. Instant success with gullible people.

    There was a documentary yesterday about it. That's why all the excitement over the last 24 hours. All this talk of sugar... *eyes up a chocolate bar*

    Barely a week goes by here where there isn't an anti sugar program/report on the tv. Open up the Sunday paper and 9 times out there'll be a negative article on sugar.

    Twitter, along with hashtags, and that instagram thing... Still have no idea or interest in what they even are....

    Clearly you've been shopping in the wrong neighborhood.

    My sister bought a couple of those gingerbread houses from Family Dollar and those were disgusting. :s

    I'd imagine it would taste a lot better if she hadn't gone so cheap.

    Deoxyribonucleic acid. I mean, acid. That sounds scary. And who can pronounce deoxyribonucleic? Don't trust it if you can't pronounce it. Big words bad.

    YIKES!!!! That sounds super scary. I hope I don't have any of that inside me!!

    It starts with deoxy. Does that mean it destroys oxygen? That sounds bad. Can I detox myself from it with the diet water?

    I ate three chocolate pudding cups earlier today and they were absolutely delicious. A tax on sugary drinks can't be a bad thing, though... It's not like we need them.

    And what else don't we need? Most of our possessions fall under that heading, as do most things we eat and drink. All we really need is some kind of Soylent green mixture, water, a heat source, and a rudimentary structure to survive.

    Everything else is then fair game.

    Let others avoid sugar. Means more for us. Same goes for steak, regular potatoes (you can keep the sweet), beer, whiskey, cheese (or other diary), boxes of food, grain products (i.e., carbs), etc.
    They can keep the veggies (but pass over the butter).

    Nope the obesity crises was caused by that mum pushing fast food through the school railing several years ago when they tried to improve the standard of food in schools.

    As for PM - maybe. He does make fab bacon sandwiches and well....vodka watermelon (do I need to go on).
