Oh God, the amount of trouble I had when I tried to start cutting sugar out of my diet. Sugar is in EVERYTHING in the US. It's in the butter. it's in the bread. It's in the meat. WHY IS IT IN THE MEAT??

Farmers feed livestock with Skittles and other candy.

Corporations do it by buying experience candy in bulk, which is really cheap.

I know that’s a rhetorical question, but it’s purely for addictive purposes. Sugar is an incredible drug and the world is hooked.

Try living without it. The withdrawals are insane. But after that it’s like living for the first time.
