Sweets


The City Daily Photo Theme for August 1st is "Sweets." Here we see the candy aisle in a grocery store. The entire aisle isn’t candy, though. This display is followed by pancake syrup and then pancake mix. I’m not sure what comes after that. The other side of the aisle is devoted to breakfast cereal.

I actually don’t buy any of this candy. I do buy some dark chocolate covered nuts, but they have they to be dairy-free, and this supermarket does not have that kind. I learned long ago that I only tolerate sugar if it’s combined with protein and fat. Otherwise, it gives me reflux. For a number of years, I didn’t eat any sugar at all, but that changed after I moved out of the city and could no longer buy a full selection of natural foods.

  1. It's so interesting that the candy aisle is next to pancake syrup. I think it's smart you know what works for your body with sugar and that you stick to dairy-free dark chocolate covered nuts.

  2. Hi Linda, if the pancake syrup is not maple syrup to me it could make sense that it is with the candy because it is sugar and not healthy. However if it is pure maple 🍁 syrup, it makes no sense to me because maple syrup, although sweet, is healthy.
