fairy bread
I made some as a giggle for morning tea at work and realised it's basically the worst food ever! Basically white/wholemeal bread with 'butter' and sprinkles haha I was wondering if this was just an Australian thing like Vegemite and Farmer's Union Iced Coffee and thought I'd ask do other countries eat fairy bread??

A different take on water consumption problems
Does anyone else have a problem with hyperhydration? Meaning drink significantly too much water. Instead of loging glasses of water consumed, I log L. or water consumed.

Sugar intake
Do people actually achieve 24g or less of sugar a day. I'm already over today and thats from having all bran at breakfast, half an apple and cabbage based slaw for lunch. Thats ridiculous. I understand cutting back on sugar, especially refined and processed foods containing sugar, but the natural sugar in moderate fruit…
