There's Frosting on My Scone!

I can tell you why America is fat, I found the reason this morning. It was 6:30 am and I needed to find something to eat for breakfast that wasn't a granola bar. Which means going to Starbucks, unfortunately, since nothing is open at that time. Starving, I ordered a cheese bagel and scone. Cranberry scones are usually delicious, having the right amount of sweet and tart. After I ordered it, I realized it had icing. Icing! Its not even 7 in the morning, why would I want sugar like that? Besides, who needs the extra calories? Its delicious as is, leave it alone.

This fascination that Americans have with adding sugar to everything is probably at least part of the reason people here are fat. There is just no need for it, sugar just adds calories. At 7 am, something that sweet is completely gratuitous. It doesn't make it taste better except that people are used to having something that sweet and can't eat anything less. We should be weaned off sugar, or so, because it is a completely unhealthy habit.
