I think it really is Americans like the taste of sugar. Would be interesting to know if other countries are just behind us in ramping up sugar in food or if some sort of legislation is the difference. Really don't see much reason that some descendants of Europeans would have such a taste difference than other descendants.
- asacrowflies 2y agoNo. Sugar is cheap, addictive, and a preservative. other countries heavily regulate it is the only reason its more an America problem
- Henchman21 2y agoYour inability to imagine my situation doesn’t change my situation one fucking bit. Your comment is both dismissive and infuriating. I hope poverty visits you and forces you to a new perspective.
- lesuorac 2y ago? If adding sugar to your product causes it to sell more then a company is going to do so. If every option for food include sugar then at every price point (including below poverty) then you're going to buy sugared food; but it's not because sugar is negatively priced, it's because it sold better.
