    @middlehaitch she was born in Germany in 1940. I must ask her where she picked this up from, could very well be from the rationing days, it makes sense.

    I love my sugar and I have never been overweight never mind obese.

    Childhood favourite: sugar buttie.
    1 slice white bread
    Lashings of butter
    Sugar on top.
    Served with a cup of milky sweet tea.

    Other weird sugar enjoyments
    Tomatoes dipped in sugar
    Lettuce leaves with sugar sprinkled on top then rolled up to eat.

    It just ain't the devil.

    Cheers, h.

    That's interesting. When I was a child I "made up" this food. I didn't know it was actually a thing!

    I replied to this thread without having watched the video first because it felt like TheAncientMariner needed a friend, (he DID say he has no problem with sugar in moderation, not so bad, right?). As to the causes of the obesity epidemic, I can think of many problems over and above high sugar consumption (inactivity comes to mind right away), but I agree with him that for at least a segment of the population, sugar is/was a big factor.

    But, what I really came to say was that I sat down and watched the video just now and thought it was excellent. OP, thanks for posting.
