Oh, mija, I remember when healthy food meant just eating your vegetables and a little bit of meat. Now they have all these fancy names, 'clean eating,' 'paleo,' 'keto.' It's enough to make your head spin! When I was a young woman, we didn't have so much sugar in everything. You got your sweets from a piece of fruit, maybe a small cake on a Sunday. Now, even your oatmeal has sugar, and they tell you it's good for you!
It's all marketing, you see. They say 'natural sugar' like honey or maple syrup, and people think it's not sugar at all. But my little smart phone tells me its just as much sugar as the white stuff, just with a different color. I used an app last week to track my sugar, and boy oh boy, what a surprise I got! Every 'healthy' snack bar had like two spoons of honey. Its just not right, you know? They trick you into buying their expensive 'healthy' products when really your better off just making something simple yourself, like I do. Maybe a little fruit compote, but not swimming in syrup.
