I’m not being evasive here. I do not support the banning of sugar. It’d be almost entirely futile to try even if I wanted to and had some sort of political position where I could try to make it happen. The production of sugar is a concern of mine, as is the corporate empires that command its production and distribution, but that falls outside of @[email protected]’s take, though perhaps it still fits within the basis of this thread’s topic considering the heavy-handed “no veggies at dinner, no bedtimes” baby libertarian idealism that seems apparent at a glance in “Chocolate Underground.”

i was more concerned about the implication it just shouldn’t be in baked goods at all, like straight up banned, because of the context of the weird anime and the whole ‘if you can’t make it taste good without sugar’ sort of vibe. criticizing it as an industry as well as it’s pervasiveness in almost every product produced that people eat is not just reasonable but an obligation we all have.

None of that is my take, even now. When the person you’re arguing with comes back from exams, feel free to direct that anger there. Or don’t. I’d suggest the latter.
