[There's no getting around it. It's an essay. About the dangers of sugar abuse on your health, linked to several medical articles. In it, she links the abuse of sugar to depression, diabetes, dopamine imbalances, fueling cancer cells and making tumors more aggressive, impotence, increased risk of heart attacks and heart disease, increased inflammation leading to joint pain and arthritis, increased risk of strokes, kidney failure, and rotting teeth.

Included in her essay is a list of signs of sugar abuse, including false teeth, rotten teeth, pupil dilation, jitteriness, mid-afternoon 'crashes', and other symptoms.

She wraps up with a plea for people to seek help and rehabilitation for their addictions and avoid anyone who might try to push such addictive substances on them.]

Oh, I'd be fine with a discussion. What I don't like is the sheer amount of fearmongering going on here.

And I have a hard time believing that this isn't about fear when you just admitted to Cortana that you knew it would be "easily misunderstood" and that you were expecting this kind of reaction. So now that you've just told us what it's really about, you can get off your high horse.

I didn't write it to be misunderstood, I just knew it could be. I figured it might have one or two people misunderstanding it anyway due to a sheer unwillingness to read. Grif, maybe. But I don't think anyone could have predicted the penis-focused breakdown Tucker's having.

I'll admit that this is a response to a conversation I had on my last mission, but all I've done is state the facts and encourage Tucker to think about whether or not he's had healthy sugar levels all this time. If you want to read more maliciousness into it, feel free, but that wasn't my intention when I put all this together.
