Watch out for those sugar junkies!

OK, I admit it.  I am a sugar junkie.  I have a sweet tooth.  It shows on my waist line and other parts of my anatomy. My day is simply not complete without a sugar fix.

I just read a statistic that states that the average American consumes almost 160 pounds of refined sugar a year.  160 pounds!!  That is a 25% increase over the past three decades.  I am so glad that I am above average in something...

This same study goes on to indicate that sugar may have addictive properties.  Just like alcohol or drugs. So does that mean if sugar is in short supply, we will see an increase in sugar related crime?  Will our jails fill up with sugar thieves?  Will we have to appoint a Sugar Czar to cope with the crisis?  Will there be an embargo on imported sugar?

Join me in stopping this insanity before it starts.  Encourage others to stop consuming sugar. That way there will be more for us....
