As an American that avoids sugar like the toxin it is I agree. The food manufacturers put it in everything. I got an off brand of milk the other day because of the shortage, a local brand it had added sugar, I took two gulps and said "WTF". Bread it's like a staple now in baking white bread fuck it pack it with sugar from corn. Pizza make %50 of the sauce sugar. Drinks, would you like 100MG of liquid sugars in every $5 bottle? Coffee: Have some bean filtered water with that Mocha sugar sludge.

- m0zg 6y agoMilk does have sugars by itself, just different kind. That's how you're able to ferment it and make yogurt, kefir, sour cream, etc. I do agree that the quantities of sugar in everything are _way_ too excessive though.
- tom_mellior 6y agoThis isn't unique to America though. Here in Austria it's impossible to buy mayonnaise without sugar, for instance. Pesto is getting difficult as well. And many many other things that when you make then yourself would never be sweetened because they are not sweet foods. I don't think we're putting it in plain yogurt yet, but if I had to guess that's probably more due to food labeling laws than the manufacturers not wanting to. Anyway, here in the EU we have strict rules on when/how foods may be labeled as "no added sugar". I think we should take those rules and turn them around and require "with added sugar" labels on basically everything that is not candy or patisserie, where you would clearly expect sugar as a main ingredient.
