As we grew up we were all taught to say no to drugs, right??? Why did no one ever teach us to say no to unhealthy foods?? I think learning to say no to the crap has been the hardest part of all this for me. I am learning and getting better everyday but I sometimes feel like a drug addict going through withdrawals......

    Quick answer is money, big business and vested interests

    Sugar is a addiction its the first thing we taste as babies.. so yea its like a drug. People who are addicted to suagr and try to quit cold turkey go through simlair withdrawals as other addicts. I know its hard i have a difficult time saying no to sweets..

    I am now of the opinion that nutrition and basic cooking skills should be taught from a young age in schools. There are a lot of subjects still taught that are of little or no value in the modern world and take up too much time in the curriculum.
