I was explaining this to my daughter in quite simplified terms the other day- we evolved to taste sugar and enjoy it because finding a sweet edible plant meant we had a source of energy to help us hunt that day. Pretty useful if you're a hunter-gatherer.

So we seek out sugar. Now we can get it whenever we want it, in much more massive quantities than we are supposed to be processing. Most of us are addicted. I'm not an exception.

If you eat Siggis yogurt, there is a full-fat option with barely any sugar that is way, way, better. I don't typically like yogurt, but like it. Add honey if needed.

I happen to be eating it right now.

And don't forget bread. So much sugar in the US..

Subway bread is considered cake in Ireland.

I think some years back there was a lawsuit in New York about whether it should be classified as cake
