Twenty years ago, I met a couple with a young son who decided not to let the kid have sugar. I wonder how that might have worked out for the kid now that he’s grown.
I assume the kid hit 18 and went on a sugar binge as soon as he tasted it the first time.
Anyone have experience with this?
My parents were very anti-sugar/processed foods and extremely controlling of our diet, there was a lock on the pantry door and everything (which is how I learned to pick locks 😉). All of us went wild in adulthood. All of us are obese except my sister who runs a half marathon per day. The funny thing is my parents never ate healthy, they would devour desserts at work and hide candy in their bedroom closet. My dad still drinks a gallon of chocolate milk per week
Yeah, that’s usually what bans do for you in the long run. And while the bans are in effect, the policy makers are hoarding all of it to themselves.
Yeah, my wife still has food hoarding tendencies, because of her parents. Her mom was strict about mealtimes, and her dad was a habitual snacker. So any snacks she got for herself would inevitably be locked away and eaten by her dad.
So now she has food stashed all over the place in our apartment. I’ll start vacuuming, and find a box of cereal under the couch. I’ll make the bed, and find a candy bar under her side of the mattress. Or the cat will casually wander out of the office, carrying a piece of food that dug up somewhere.
