Let me guess...American? Because coming from outside, the way you pile sugar into everything (including breakfast) is just insane and aa little stomach churning. Obviously it's a bit nurture on both our parts, but sugar for breakfast is crazy, as is being taught that things like soda or snickers should ever be eaten except for in exceptional/celebratory circumstances. One needs to be taught that those food stuffs are acceptable and gain a palette for them, because foreigners find your food sickly sweet. Clearly this is a policy/cultural thing...

Guessed wrong! I do live in the US at present, however. > Obviously it's a bit nurture on both our parts, but sugar for breakfast is crazy, as is being taught that things like soda or snickers should ever be eaten except for in exceptional/celebratory circumstances. There's always a gap between how things should be done and how they are actually done. I personally don't eat sugary cereals, or drink soda. I like sweets and candy and I'll admit it's a struggle to control sometimes, especially when I'm stressed out. I won't judge someone in far worse circumstances than I for indulging in sugar - it might be the only good thing in their life. And I don't approve of government resources being spent on checking what kind of food people eat - you can get far more bang for your buck elsewhere.
