Amaranth

Spanish name: amaranth

Amaranth is an ancient tiny grain (actually a seed) native to the Americas.  This high-protein grain is used as a cereal or ground into flour.  The grain is convenient because it is cooks much more quickly than many grains.  The leaves are also eaten as fresh as in salads or cooked like spinach.  Fresh greens can be found in some well-stock grocery stores or Hispanic markers.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
