Well that explains the diabeetus.
That is really just a map of poverty.
Sugar should be heavily taxed, it’s so dangerous at rates of more than 10 grams a day
It should be taxed on the corporate side. Taxing sugar on the consumer side becomes a poor tax, because poor people will still want sweets from time to time, making those treats now more and more expensive. Well off people will just accept the tax because it’s marginal to them, but when your chocolate bar that you treat yourself to once a week goes from 1.29 to 3.29, then it really fucks your day up.
What should be done is incentives to provide less sugar/glucose-fructose on the product side and encourage companies to make snacks and beverages that have less sugar content.
I mean it would be inconvenient but they would still dissolve, they aren’t super saturating sweetened tea in the south.
That’s exactly what they are doing for tea in the south.
I have never been in a place in the South where they don’t serve gays
i hate when i go down south and go to restaurants and order iced tea and get a glass of concentrated sugar water
This seems like a US thing I’m too European to understand
(aka. they bring us the ingredients, and we make our own tea at the restaurant table)
Sweet tea is a drink prepared hot but consumed cold. The cold part is best done via refrigeration. Bringing hot water, tea, and sugar are not going to achieve the same results.
it’s best not done at all to be honest. Just drink a soda like a regular person.
Some people like the taste of tea over the taste of soda, even if both are equally sickeningly sweet.
Have you ever had southern sweet tea? The flavor is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. If you want to drink sugar water and brown coloring why not drink a coke?
What’s called sweet tea in the US is overwhelmingly sweet. That was my reaction to it the first time I tried it. It’s so sweet, the only way you can get that much sugar in it is if you dissolve that sugar in hot tea.
The trick is to order half sweet/half unsweet. Otherwise you get Aunt Jemima on ice.
I don’t know if you need to be told this.
Pay the money and buy real maple syrup, not ‘pancake syrup.’ Real maple syrup is one of the best tastes on the planet.
I’m aware of the existence and superiority of maple syrup. I only use Aunt Jemima in this example because that’s what oversweetened tea tastes like to me: shit.
Maybe the amount of sugar that cold water easily accepts is the correct amount to not taste like shit
Yeah, and if you saturate hot tea, won’'t the sugar simply materialize back as the tea gets colder? Seems to me that nothing about this has to do with saturation.
