Weekly Sugar Challenge: Week of March 28, 2011

This week, pretend sugar will kill you. Imagine it’s poison developed by a world-wide mind control organization that’s out to destroy life as we know it. This evil group runs huge companies and they have developed a product so addictive that consumers everywhere want to eat it. The more they eat the more their minds become soft and mind control becomes easier for the corporate conglomerates.

If you eat sugar laden junk food, know that those companies will soon be taking your money in other ways. Sure, they’ve got you hooked on chocolate cookies and sparkly sodas, but that’s just the start. Then they sell you gym memberships to supposedly counteract the effects of their horrendous chemicals.

You walk on a treadmill like a rat in a cage while sipping on sugary energy drinks and chomping on “health” bars made from genetically modified sweeteners. While there, you watch television sets that tell you, “BUY MORE JUNK.”

Before you know it you’re working more than 40 hours per week and spending all of your hard earned income on junk food and crap products that you don’t need. The treadmill speeds up and you have to jog to keep up. The faster it goes the more junk you need to eat in order to stay energized.

Meanwhile you’re credit cards are being sucked dry and so you get another one. But the bills keep stacking up. Purchasing the latest widget promises to solve the problems created by the failures of the last gizmo. Then another comes out and it’s supposed to be better still. You believe it and throw out what you have in favor of something new simply because it’s shinier and they told you do so.

Soon your home is filled with gadgets that are designed to help you open jars of sugar sauce and machines that chill your sugar drinks. You even buy a powdered mix to whip up your own sugary snack that bakes in minutes in your microwave oven at work. All of this so you can spend less time thinking and more time being busy.

You’re hooked! Your mind is mush, you’re energy is depleted, and you can’t keep up—all because you ate sugar.

So pretend this week that you’re going to break free. Whenever someone offers you sugary junk food, know that they’re part of the evil system. If you’ve never seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I recommend you watch it this week while sipping water and eating a natural snack.

Remember, this is just for pretend.
