Couscous


Couscous is just a "grain" form of semolina which is coarsely ground durham wheat. Couscous is a staple grain in North Africa. It does not require cooking you can simply add hot water and "steep" until the water is absorbed. The moistened "grains" can then be eaten warm like a breakfast cereal or cooled and used as a salad.

Couscous can be purchased in most any grocery store.

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?
