Sure. I make tasty pizza sometimes, and it's not even bad for you.
The amounts and types of fat matter.

Sugarwise, Americans consumed 21 megatons of caloric sweetners in 2006
[1-3]. This works out to 42 gigapounds. Divided by 300 megapeeps =~
140 lbs. annually per person.


Oh man. We buy maybe 3-4lbs a month and most of that is to make humming bird feeder juice. With those guys 90%+ of that is applied towards the aerial combat budget.


Sugar? What's that? My wife will make an occasional cheesecake...
maybe three times a year, and will add sugar to spaghetti sauce if the
tomatoes were too tart.

No other uses of sugar. And I don't drink soda.

We bought a one pound box of sugar a couple of weeks ago. Need to open it one of these days...

But, while we don't cook directly with sugar, we eat plenty of it. Ice cream, chocolate (dark!), muffins, cakes, brownies... 8-)
