What's the deal with sugar?

Do you think the Government should play a part in prohibiting the amount of sugar that's 'hidden' in processed foods? Perhaps imposing a tax on sugar? Do you think more education should be given on the dangers of excess sugar intake? Have you cut out sugar in the past and noticed a difference in your health and weight? Do you have a sugar substitute? Or do you simply not care...?

You're dead right Suzi, Too many parents want the schools or government to do parents job. I say stop being so darn lazy parents and get on with you parenting properly. I have been a type 2 Diabetic for 13 years now, I never thought that I could give up sugar but now I always use a fake sugar tablet in my tea or coffee (And I drink plenty of both every day) a particular brand of fake sugar tablet doesn't suit everyone, I find Sugarella is for me but parents should definitely cut down on bread and fast foods.
