    You've never heard of people using more and more sugar over time in tea or coffee?

    Actually, I suspect that's pretty rare. Everyone I know who used sugar used more as a young person and gradually less as their tastes matured. Some didn't, but I can't think of anyone who used more.

    I never liked sugar in hot drinks, but milk has sugar and I used to use that and stopped as I started actually enjoying the taste of coffee.

    I saw a mom selling her baby at the park for a Baby Ruth candy bar. It was sad.

    My grandpa used to run a sugar gang, back in the day. They were pretty hard core guys baking cakes all day. They made a killing.

    Was he down with these guys. Sugar is one of our largest exports. While I wasn't even gonna go this way with the convo people definitely die over the buisness of sugar. Then again people are slaves for Apple and nike and a million other companies so whatever. I'm gonna go along and say your a republican and everyone needs to pick themselves up by their bootstraps in well every conceivable situation. We'll that is unless it affects you or any benefit you receive wether it be social security or Medicare. Because that's not socialism, you earned that. Didn't you?

    Actually, my mom just noticed this has been happening to her with her nightly ice cream treats. She just wants more and more for the same 'fix' and she's not more than five or ten pounds overweight, much less a binge eater. She's different from me in two ways: 1. She can only eat so much before she gets sick, and it's way less than I can eat. Like 3000+ calories less! 2. She doesn't fixate or obsess over food.

    You still make great points in your posts, though.
