I don't think they want to stop us from eating these foods. More sickness = more money.

I hate how addictive this crap is. I try and buy locally sourced food and eat a balanced diet but these sneaky additives and preservatives get in my kitchen from time to time.

I rarely let my daughter eat these types of things but last week, I gave her a treat for doing well with potty training. It was a small kid's sugar-free drink. After she had finished it, her whole body was trembling. I freaked out! After some Googling, I found other parents saying the same thing - it was the sweetners in the drink. Luckily, she was fine after thirty minutes but it shocked me and we will be avoiding sweetners from now on.
