minus-squarepsud@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSure, but so few people are high energy athletes who can legitimately burn the sugar right away. My comment was really about the great majority of people for whom sugar consumption is a path to metabolic disease, diabetes, and early death I still support a tax on sugar as it would reduce consumption overall, but for those wealthy enough to exercise hard a sugar tax would hardly hurt
minus-squarexohshoo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWealthy enough to exercise? Wtf? Ain’t even going there
minus-squarepsud@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIt’s probably a U shaped curve where you can devote (or have to devote) significant time to exercise at very low incomes, but it becomes harder at working poor sort of levels, then easy again at a certain level above poverty
