How sweet it is

 

 

As a culture we've become addicted to sugar and it's playing havoc with our metabolism.

 

The manufacturers of junk food are running amok finding ways to inject more sugar into manufactured food.

 

Some time ago a mate of mine suggested I take a look at the placement of breakfast foods in my local supermarket; which I did.

 

I observed that the worst of the boxes of breakfast food were placed at eye-level on a left hand shelf, closest to the checkout.

 

The table below outlines the sugar content of the most prominently displayed packets of breakfast food – all except two of them being biscuits.

In my classification if it’s got more than 10% added sugar it’s a confectionery; it’s junk.
