it's NOT no sugar & other nonsense

I think people should remember that one of the No Ss is No SWEETS, it's not no sugar.

The reason I bring this up is that a lot of people are asking about forbidden foods. Simply put THERE ARE NO FORBIDDEN FOODS, just some foods are DEFERRED.

For example, I've seen a couple questions like: is it ok to put sugar in my coffee or tea? Well ask the questions:

1. is it a snack?

2. is it a "seconds"?

3. is it a sweet?

Unless you put so much sugar in your drink that it's more like syrup than tea, you're probably doing just fine. Need to put a little sugar on your breakfast cereal? Go ahead. A bit of jam on your toast? No problem!

As some great man once said (RE: S days) : Don't be an idiot.

It's funny how many people read "no sweets" and understand "no sugar," despite all my attempts to distinguish the two.

My rule of thumb is "if it's sweet enough to be a dessert, then it's a sweet." If not, don't worry about it.
