Giving sugar to a kid is like giving sugar to an adult.

Have you seen the meth usage rates? Awesome.

Now compare them to obesity rates. I'm not saying sugar is the sole factor, but the fact that I've seen off the shelf sauerkraut (literally "sour cabbage") having sugar[1] as a listed ingredient in the US, tells you all you need to know about sugar's addictiveness.

[1] Yeah, corn syrup or whatever the cheapest sugar substitute is.
