Everyday Systems

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.

LOL, great point, jules!

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.
