[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.]

[ Robbie licks his finger, dips in the bowl, and licks it again thoughtfully, really trying to identify what one would call this. ]

It tastes like the sad Halloween candies ground to a powder. Smarties, Mary Janes, Dots, Whoppers, Mike & Ikes... the stuff at the bottom of the pillow case that nobody wants.

[Dipper's eyes go wide.]

Okay, that means you should probably eat all of it. All of it.

Just trust me on this. Eat the candy or the candy might eat you.

[He's only half joking.]

[ Robbie is well aware Dipper's world is nuts, so he's not going to completely adult the answer.

Dip, I couldn't finish this if I tried. I'd get sick. I don't think I ever could've eaten the whole thing.

But candy eating man is a new one for me.

I've seen it.

[Her tone is... grim.]

[ Okay, America's world is a different shade of nuts entirely. Less fantastical, more crazy-dark. Robbie drops all jest. ]

I'd rather not know the details, unless it's something I have to worry about here. I have enough nightmares.
