Consumer warnings on sugar-filled foods?

[Dumbfounded]

"Surgeon General's warning: Cigarettes cause heart disease, stroke, emphysema, ect-"

Its a well-known fact that if people eat too much white sugar over a long period of time, in addition to OBESITY, they often get DIABETES which America leads the world in.

Just to be fair, since every cigarette pack has a warning to the consumer,
shouldn't ALL
Candy
Ice cream
Baked goods
ANYTHING made with large amounts of white sugar
have a warning reading:

"Excess consumption of refined sugar causes obesity, diabetes, heart disease, tooth decay, hypo and hyperglycemia, anxiety, ADHD, mood swings,
high cholesterol-" You get the idea.



So the next time you pick up a Snickers Bar, you'll read a white sugar warning
equal to that on packs & cartons of all tobacco products.

Wouldn't that be fair?

I just scored a couple 12-packs of the new Pepsi Throwback. Made with real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup! Yummy. Tastes just like I remember it did back in the 70's.

Sure, put the warnings on them. Nobody reads them anyway. Even if they did read it, they wouldn't care.

We'll here's my theory, If I'M payign for your health care you shouldn't be allowed to eat anything that will cause to you be unhealthy!

If you can't care for yourself, I SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TOO!!

[Dumbfounded]

I just dont' get it.
Since people b and moan about having to pay for smoker's health care costs out of their tax dollars,
why aren't they furious over the MUCH BIGGER health care costs associated with sugar-packed food?

What?
Oh.
"Most people EAT products with refined sugar
and
the media has not made a big deal out of refined sugar being a poison
and
the sugar;Confectionary lobby is HUGE
and
hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue would be lost by those who make money off of white sugar
and
TENS-OF-BILLIONS in NET PROFIT are made in from medications and testing supplies, doctor visits, lab tests and hospital visits FROM Diabetes in the United States ALONE (highest in the world, of course)
AND
The American Diabetes Association, The Surgeon General and all other mainstream "health sources" including Dr. Sanjay Liar Gupta could not give a monkey's ass about Americans TRULY being healthy."


So the public is being lied to;Kept in the dark as usual because the ONLY thing the truth usually hurts in corporate America Issssssssss...
PROFIT
Even if CHILDHOOD DIABETES HAS EXPLODED,
the enormous INDUSTRIES who make MONEY off of Diabetes and other diseases caused by white sugar (and other crap in food) ain't going to allow the public to be well-informed and demand reform.
EVER.
