You can add sugar in anything, to make it taste batter. That's the point of sugar.

That doesn't make the product good.

Ice cream taste great, but it's not base for a healthy society.

We need product that stand on their own if we want that children chose them over industrial junk good.

It's not being a snob. I don't think I'm a better person because I happen to live in an area where you still get good tomatoes. It's random luck.

But I do think that adding sugar in things is only legitimate when you are limited in the quality of things you get. It makes sense if the food supply is limited for example: you have to do with what you have, so let's make it taste good.

But in our western society we have an abundance of food. Our problem now is obesity. And having affordable fresh tomatoes somebody would choose over frozen lasagna would be great to have.

I say that because I honestly believed, until I became an adult, that cooked carrots tasted bad. The reason ? I only ate them at school, where it was the most horrible dish you could imagine.

Avoiding healthy products because of experience of industrial crap is pretty sad.
