After already regulating alcohol, tobacco, and trans fats, guess what is being recommended that Big Daddy Government should regulate for our “health”?
Sugar. SUGAR!! Yes, Big Daddy Government should regulate sugar because it’s a “toxin.”
“Sugar and other sweeteners are, in fact, so toxic to the human body that they should be regulated as strictly as alcohol by governments worldwide, according to a commentary in the current issue of the journal Nature by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).”
The researchers propose regulations such as taxing all foods and drinks that include added sugar, banning sales in or near schools and placing age limits on purchases. [“taxing all foods and drinks that include added sugar”—Taxing? No!! Really??!!]
Here’s my favorite quote:
“sucrose, an even mix of glucose and fructose found in high-fructose corn syrup and in table sugar made from sugar cane and sugar beets — has been as detrimental to society as alcohol and tobacco.” [emphasis mine]
You and I both know that the biggest toxin that has been “detrimental to society” is the institution of government.
