Kids are experiencing the same diseases now as alcoholics because of the high sugar consumption. 22% of calories now come from beverages, which is twice as high as it was in 1965. Prevention is the key. The USDA appears to want to perpetuate this.

49% of sugar consumed is hidden in foods, plus 35% from sugary drinks and 16% from desserts/sweets. It's sugar that's causing the obesity.

I have far too much sugar, but I work 15 hour days in manual labour type work, so I'm still fit.

Lucky you! Most people can't burn that much off each day. People are addicted to package and fast food, which is so unhealthy for you.
