Adding sugar to my sugar

Hey, you – all you meddle-men food handlers.

And no, meddle is not a typo (although it is mighty sexist of me to call you men).

Yes, I’m talking to you, all you fast-food restauranteurs who decide that people won’t drink iced tea without sugar in it.

What the heck? I can add sugar myself. I can’t take it out.

What are you thinking?

I’m also talking to you, all you fruit packers who feel like you need to sweeten items like dried dates. Come on. They make sugar out of the fruit, and yet you feel the need to sweeten it.

Or those who sugar dried pineapple. Is nothing ever too sweet for you?

Don’t even get me started on my quest for a sugar-free spaghetti sauce. Did I dream it, or was there really once such a creature?

And McDonald’s? Keep your hands off my cappuccino. No. I don’t like it sweet. Really, really, REALLY.

People, just leave the food alone. You’re not improving it.

And, what’s more, you’re messing with our waistlines.
