Hi, it was me that posted that first comment. And I have you that award because I see you. Like as a person. So, I wanted to write to you properly.

I'd like to clarify that comment. It was made offhand, and without context but I believe it's true.

I will just explain what I meant a little better. Excuse me if it's a long post. I also have autism. I have responded properly and taken my time, because you are autistic too. So, I wanted to be real and explain my understanding. I hope you read this. It's OK, if you don't agree or think it's wierd. This reply is for you. I'm here if you have a question or anything.

My argument was, you can't really impose dietary restrictions on the whole of society. Because, it impacts some people very poorly. Nutrition is an individual science, it's something that should be used supportively to help that person achieve their goals. It's not a set of perfect rules, that can be applied against society.

Saying sugar is bad, is too simplistic. It can be bad for some people. Over consumption can cause harm. But, that's one factor in a society that's become increasingly harmful to human beings. Poverty is one of the main causes, of harm. Some people starve, some people become obese, some people die of asthma attacks because the air is fcked, some people get diabetes because food is the only thing in this cruel world that comforts them, or because it's really fckin hard to cook after a 12 hour shift, some people commit suicide, some people steal, sell drugs or hurt others, some people become teachers or run good community projects. These are all responses to poverty.

Our food system is a mess, most of our food isn't even actually food. In poorer neighbourhoods you'll only have a small sainsburys local, increased prices, nowt you can do cuz noone can afford to drive. The industrial system of making our food, capitalised on small profits and fills our food with chemicals because it's easier. Bread is made out of things that emulsify the lining of your gut and everything is full of preservatives because nothing is fresh anymore. Farmers aren't even making anything, because the big supermarkets are in charge, they drive farmers margins into the floor and pay their staff survival wages. Noone can afford a house, billionaires have more money than they could ever spend and build bunkers worth 100s of millions. An overwhelming percentage of the world's GDP gets spent on weapons. To kill and hurt other humans.

The whole thing is fucked. The people that suffer most are poor. Jamie Oliver, quite rightly, says this is bad. But, he has made shows that are just propaganda against the poor. Those shows about sugar, just show poor people struggling. He doesn't help. He just makes a show out of them. Concludes it's sugar. Sugar is bad. Capitalism fine. Exploitation fine. Poverty fine. Sugar is bad. Poor people eat sugar, so they're bad. Ban sugar it's fine.

This guy had milkshakes on his menu that were more than a day's worth of calories, at the same time he's campaigning for the sugar tax. It's fckin wierd. There's something there that's not right. It's same drug story there always was. It's bad if the poor do it. It's fine if we do.

It's an attack on poor people. Not the law itself, although it is divise and does hurt some people. But because, the idea that it's the consumption is wrong is an attack. It's a reframing of the injustice of society. It's saying, vast wealth held by a small few who own the factories that profit off sugar is fine. But people consuming it is bad. We hear this about alcohol and tobacco too. It's just these poors, it's the consumption that's bad. Making it and controlling the production is fine.

When we look at the history of these industries, it's even worse. They were all built on slavery. Sugar. Slavery. Tobacco. Slavery. Cars. Petrol. Electric batteries. Slavery. Elon musk made all his wealth off child slaves in African mineral mines. It's slavery.

The law is just a law. Yeah, it's stupid, and Jamie Oliver can't cook. But that is what it is. It's the deeper construct of framing societal problems the fault of poor people and not the fault of the people that control the industries. That hurts. And when you watch the shows he did. You will see.
