Sugar as a Drug

I sometimes wonder how things would change if we viewed sugar intake as a substance abuse problem. We would suddenly hide all of our candy and cookies so they weren’t in public view, and we would sneak a piece here and there when life got too hard to handle. There would be a special aisle at the grocery store, or rather a section, since the amount of sugar products would exceed an aisle. You would have to have proper identification to enter and there would be armed cops standing by the door. Halloween would become a bunch of Speak Easys and parents would never admit to each other that they were taking their kids trick-or-treating. All the righteous Latter-Day Saints who obeyed the prophet and built up their food storage would turn into Drug Lords, doling out their sugar to the highest bidder.
