>*makes your entire population obese* Heh, nothing personnel kiddo.
But really, on a political note, should government ban added sugar? Every country in the world has rapidly growing obesity and most experts agree that processed carbs and sugar are the cause.
some days I eat upwards of 300 grams of sugar and I'm less than 140lbs

Moreso due to federal government using tax payer's currency to create price floors for corn producers. Corn is used to make high-fructose corn syrup, which is the most prevalent sweetener in the US (if I am not mistaken).
Sugar consumption was much higher from the 50s until the 90s than after. While people were obese then, it really went out of control after that. Something else is to blame.

It's not even sugar, its high fructose corn syrup

Sugar, while not good for you, is nothing but a red herring.
they don't even use sugar in this country retard, they use high fructose corn syrup
Hunter Howard
Wasn’t cane sugar. It was corn syrup and seethe oils.

so.. I have to give up sugar cubes for my tea and coffee because some obese pieces of shits can't control themselves

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.
the corn lobby is basically run by bayer. they bought monsanto, and enriched them with their legion of lobbyists. corn needs to always be produced at a surplus, arguably in case of unforeseen events that effect yields. the epa just "silently" passed legislation raising the ethanol content of gasoline from 10 percent to 15 percent. not only will this rot all the fuel lines and seals of cars made before 2011, it will probably cause many people to get incinerated alive in their cars when their fuel line spontaneously develops a leak and meets a stray spark. if not simply shortsighted and naïve, this is an outright malicious act to terrorize the populace and force a societal collapse.
Just let people be obese, IMO. The real solution is transhuman freedom of form. We need to transcend the paradigm that the body you're born in is the body you die in. Gene therapies, radical surgeries, this stuff is the actual answer to the obesity epidemic.
That said, you won't piss me off by restricting sugar. It's not a civil rights issue, just an economic freedom issue, and I'm no longer a libertarian as I was in childhood. As a libertarian socialist, I defend civil rights, but not really economic rights.
I eat tons of sugar, but banning added sugar would only trim "drive-by" calories in things that aren't intrinsically sweet. I'd still have my preferred delicacies.

sure, the ubiquitous trash they use to manufacture processed food is bad, but most of the issues arise from the sedentary lifestyles and fried dopamine receptors that are a symptom of living constantly tethered to a telephone. even obamaphones are bloated with newsfeeds filled with doom and gloom. there is never a future, only the bad news of the moment.

Banning added sugar wouldn't stop you from buying your own sugar cubes. Read the post more closely next time. It only takes a little self-control.
Obese people don't generally /have/ impulse control deficits AFAIK. I think that the phenomenon of the level-headed fat guy may be one of the historic factors which privileged the genes of obesity throughout humanity's history of violence, corruption, and incompetence. We haven't gotten over our violent legacy; every outbreak of misery on Earth is yet another burst of support for the genes of fat people. Obesity rates are rising /everywhere/...

>fried dopamine receptors meme >post targeting phones Okay, so I triggered you and you vomited on me. Got anything real to add, or would that be having too much to think?

If anything they should be more aggressive with the shitty foods. Really fuck over anyone at the front of the bellcurve. Fucking die and give us some breathing room you retards.
