I have seen people in recovery speak of being powerless, and I WOULD LOVE to perform a study on Americans and sugar. Powerless probably doesn’t even describe our addiction to this white-yellow-brown lump of madness.
I feel it every time I bite into a Mile High Mud Pie, or when I have a piece of sweet tangy/sour candy in my pocket–it is powerlessness! I don’t care how full I am! My brain will send fake signals of hunger, and do everything but punch me in the face to get that sugary mess in my mouth.
I literally need a power greater than myself to overcome this issue, called sugar. It is to the point where I cannot have it in my house or around me.
I loath/love when people give me candy or sweets.
It is a love-hate that is soooo deep, I literally think and feel like they are playing with my emotions.
Truth is…they aren’t, but SUGAR IS playing with my emotions. The psycho-chemical reaction that I (and you and our nation) have associated with this drug, ahem, I mean food, called sugar has created a perfectly beautiful transmission of electricity and “feel-good” chemicals on one of my biggest super highway of neurons, that I am rendered all but hopeless when it is near. Sugar! Shame on you. Aaron! Shame on you. Lord help me…
As you part read the lyrics from this 90’s band for its educational purpose, and leave me a comment whether you agree or not…maybe we can start a support group…
Presidents Of The United States Of America Candy lyrics
sugar’s only sweetness
salt is ocean tears
and you were my only weakness
for years and years and years
you little yellow sweetie
you were hiding in a jar
now my mind is gone completely
take off the lid and there you are
you’re my candy
candy
well the devil she made sweet candy
took 6 days and nights to dream
on the 7th day she rested
woke up early and made ice cream
now the devil she must be a dentist
with deep jawbreaker eyes
red rope hair gum drop lips
cotton candy thighs
you’re my candy
candy
chocolate lava stole my body
and aftertaste stole my mind
left me dangling down defenseless
and then sweet candy she said goodbye
now my teeth are worn and useless
my eyes too sunk to see
my tongue swole up to twice its size
and all i wanna do is eat
candy my candy
my candy my candy
suckin’ on my candy

Dang! Why does the truth hurt so much!

Ah Hah! I am so evil to be the purveyor of such delights, may I change my evil ways. I am a Sugar Pusher!
