Sugar Nazis strike again : Comments

By Satyajeet Marar, published 28/6/2017

Stopping people from having the occasional can is not only preachy and patronising - it will do nothing to combat obesity.

Maybe a ban on sugary drinks initiated by a grey headed Caucasian homophobe clutching a bible do you think?

Sugar is addictive if people who crave it from drinks can't get the drinks they will get it from something else candy lollies etc.

So then they have to ban candies, forget the war on drugs we will have the war on sugar.

Rabble rousing risible rubbish and an outright deliberate disingenuous insult to intelligence!

What's next? The Asbestos Nazis strike again, the Nicotine Nazis strike again?

Sugar is both additive and empty calories, that can and does lead to health consequences like obesity and diabetes, if used in excess!

And sugary drinks absolutely loaded with incomprehensible amounts of UNNEEDED sugar, fructose, sucrose, glucose, or lactose, (milk sugar) are all sugar types and principal suspects in both health related outcomes, often with dire, life changing/life ending, consequences!

What a stupid title!
This is of course quite typical of people who write (rant) for the Spectator.
The modern dreadfully sane "everyman" of consumer society is a propagandized individual, participating in a "culture" of illusions and, effectively, self-destructing.
The principal way that this process of self-destruction is occurring is via the widespread consumption of packages of toxic chemicals sold as food in supermarkets - this includes sugar, corn syrup and the various kinds of artificial sweeteners.
How and why does the dreadfully sane every-person do this?
Almost everything that one buys (and thinks) is provided by commercial media and corporations via their 24/7 propaganda industry - aka the advertising industry. Womens magazines are of course an important component of this consumerist propaganda.
Two relevant references.

What about a tax and ban on bread.

Each slice of bread has upwards of 43grm-45grm of sugar.

45grm sugar= 9 spoons of sugar.
