Throughout my life there have been many food evil’s that have received the “Scarlet Letter” and although I appreciate the warning sometimes I think we might be overdoing it. Maybe instead of focusing on one item (ex Sugar, Salt, Margarine) we should talk about eating a balanced diet which includes balancing some exercise along the way. I understand that American’s can over do one item like Sugar but sometimes we find out what was evil wasn’t as bad as we suspected for example butter and eggs are now good for you in the morning. I’m sure sugar is harmful when taking in a great deal to our body but I also believe the time and situation where we induce this ingredient might also play a key role. We also should consider that different people might react differently to any ingredient and therefore what seem harmful to one might be helpful to others. “Sugar” might be receiving today’s “Scarlet Letter” but maybe that letter shouldn’t be as red?
