    High fructose corn syrup will be the death of western society.

    I could really go for a bag of Doritos, but I'm trying to watch my weight. Does anyone have a bag of crack?

    Yeah. I've made it a point to stay away from it, but it's hard unless you read every label.

    If I'm PMSing and want something sugary, nothing can stand in my way of getting it. I will feel like I'm going to go nuts without it, then afterward, I actually feel like a sigh of relief come over me. It's like when I used to smoke and would be all frustrated. After those first couple of puffs, it was like, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    Sugar doesn't do it for me, at all. Caffeine, on the other hand ... that's the one thing I can't break myself of.

    KG - I understand what you say about nicotine/smoking. My college roommate was a smoker and was known for her "nic fits."

    Oh great, just another thing the government's going to ban. It'll work as well as that Prohibition thing.

    I have just one thing to say about sugar and its potential for being bad.. get in my belly! Preferably in the form of chocolate.

    Carbs in general are addicting. For me, bread is tougher to fight off than sugar.

    Hey, I found some pearls! No, wait, they're just my teeth. Well, I can still make a necklace out of 'em.
