Sugar addiction is very common now, as the food industry when they took out fat and labelled everything “low fat” to get customers compensated by adding sugar to everything, which of course is a health disaster for the American public.
I always check the ingredient list of everything I buy and specifically the little subsection where they indicated whether there is “added sugar”. I want to see a zero there and even the claim on the package “No Added Sugar”. Some food companies are getting the message that added sugar isn’t healthy and are moving in that direction now.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
