SUGAR!!

You have GOT to be kidding me! I went through the meat market checking every package (much to my husband's embarassment I'm sure) and sure enough every package of chicken had some sort of "solution". In fairness, not all of them have sugar.

However, the one single brand I've been having every single day for the last month, has SUGAR! No wonder I've been wanting to binge on that chicken!!! Seriously!

We have to be oh so vigilant anymore. Why on earth would they need to inject raw chicken with sugar?? To keep addicts like me addicted. And, boy did it work!

Maybe we should start a list of products that have sugar where sugar shouldn't be!! That and high fructose corn syrup. Some of you may remember a couple years ago when I discovered that the Unsweetened Iced Tea I was drinking had HFCS in it! I was able to ditch like 7 lbs after I cut that out!!
Hi Joy,
I think that's a fantastic idea. Start a list of foods/brands that the manufacturers sneak in forms of sugar. I'm all for it. We can even put a list in the No Sweets challenge if you'ld like. I remember the ice tea with you. For me it was horseradish and HFCS. I havn't been able to find any horseradish without it. So if anyone is reading this and knows of a brand, let me know. thanks. I miss my horseradish!
Let me know what you think about the food list Joy. I support it 100%.
