Ghostly, I must admit, I am a bit confused with your reply.

Here you suggest do what ya want early on, yet later say:

When someone gets comfortable they can reign in their diet.

But then admit:

I have recently come to admit I have a hard time with moderation.

And close with:

People will feel better if they cut out sugar.

If we get addicted to sugar, just how EASY will it be to stop/moderate/control our sugar intake?

Will that be after we suffer serious health consequences?

Or when we hit a severe bottom like with alcohol or drugs?

Food addictions are arguably much worse, since unlike alcohol, we can not simply stop eating.
