    I believe that sugar and caffeine are the real gateway drugs, they are the 1st chemical compounds many people are addicted to.

      Gateway to what? Harder cookies? A double shot of espresso? They’re definitely drugs, but I think to call them a gateway isn’t so accurate.

        Both of those are biologically necessary. So if we’re going that route, oxygen.

        You can live just fine without consuming sugar or caffeine.

          Sugar is a bit of a stretch, since we also do need it. We just get it in a lot of food, since a lot of the foods we eat also need sugar to grow and do things.

          Dude… they’re literally banning fast-food ads in the UK. This is no time to get pedantic haha

          You can absolutely get addicted to salt and fat

          And we do need sugar… Carbs are sugar. You need carbs

          Don’t take this personally but it kinda sucks you got upvoted this much

          EDIT: Lots of morbidly obese Americans here. Sorry I offended your gods, salt and fat. Oh and get off the internet every once in a while. There’s too many of you here and 90% of your opinions are moronic.
