The sweet truth leaves a sour taste in my mouth! Yes, I know there is a weight problem in the United States. But at what point are we going to realize there is NO QUICK FIX for this!!! Instead of choosing to educate our people on living healthy, people think they should be able to eat whatever they want, not move, and still be healthy. Instead of eating meals that contain REAL INGREDIENTS, unhealthy substitutes that promise better health are being put in foods everywhere.

Please explain to me why it is better to substitute real food with unreal. Well, you don't have to because the reason is clear. Laziness and greed, these are the main culprits.
The laziness falls upon the person who thinks they can have two hamburgers a large fry and a diet coke, no exercise, but still believe that diet coke helped. The only reason why sugar makes people gain weight is because they overindulge on those sweets without eating FOOD FIRST. When I was growing up, (as well as most people my age and older) you didn't eat anything sweet until you ate a meal. Then when you ate the sweet, you were already full and didn't eat but a small piece. Now America has everybody believing they can have anything they want with NO CONSEQUENCE!!!! They also believe they can have coffee and donuts for breakfast sit at a desk for 4 hours, eat fast-food, sit at a desk for 4 or more hours, drive home eat a big meal, go to bed, coffee and donuts for breakfast, fast-food lunch, repeat. They won't exercise or really move at all. Then wonder why they are overweight.
The GREED falls upon those who prey on this idea, knowing people will choose the EASY route instead of the appropriate route. The Government knew in the '80's that this chemical caused a numerous amount of side-effects but Donald Rumsfeld (then Searle Chairman) made a promise to "call in his markers". To make a long story short, Rumsfeld got a $12million bonus and an award for Outstanding CEO.
