I like Sugar in my Coffee and it does not hurt a thing. There is Sugar in Fruit. The Sugar Tax is a joke. Over consumption could be a problem. But overconsumption of Food is a problem. After Sugar what next? By the time the Food Nazis get through they will have you living in a Rubber Room and a Air Bag Safety Suit. With a Mulsoy IV. Phooey!
