The fact that people even consider adding sugar to ordinary food is mind-boggling to me. Sure, adding a small pinch to pasta sauce as a seasoning is reasonable, in quantities less than you would usually add salt.
But seriously dumping sugar in food, so it actually tastes noticeably sweet? That's just insane.
Sugar and high fructose corn syrup get added to a ton of foods that don't need extra sweetening. Some varieties of Vlasic dill pickles, for example, have HFCS added. It's insane.
For the past few months I've been trying to avoid added sugar in everything except for some baked goods (like zuchini bread or birthday cake). It took a couple weeks to get used to, but now I prefer food without it and when I try something with added sweetener it tastes too sweet.
