I like sugar and sweets but I won't defend them because I know I've harmed my health by eating too much of them in the past and that, in general, the food industry pushes them too much; and I appreciate what Michelle Obama did to put "added sugar" into the nutritional information on food packaging. The fact that I like something doesn't blind me to the problems it causes. I think a big part of maturity is learning to separate what you like from what you know is good or not and why and in what quantities.
