Sometimes not knowing is better they say and some prefer not to know. Once I've been to a funeral where the priest said "*happy is the one who believes and doesn't see*". It sounded odd and a bit shocking but after some time I came to understand what he meant by that and can say he was right up to a point. There are people who choose not to see and be happy.

That is or has been coffee for me for years. I don't like it with cream as I believe it ruins the flavor and the sugar must not be too much for the same reason. That's me but not everyone is like that. Many people prefer their coffee with milk, cream and sugar. Yesterday I saw an article on Twitter, shared by CNN about festive hot drinks. It caught my eyes because the coffee cups had a logo of a well known coffee company that I like even though I'm not a coffee drinker anymore. The article says festive hot drinks, more precisely the Caramel Hot Chocolate with whipped cream and oat milk can contain up to 23 teaspoons of sugar. This is shocking no matter how you look at it as it means 758 calories. That is almost half of a woman's daily calorie intake, and you drink it just for fun. This specific hot chocolate is 20 ounces, which means 590 ml. There's another drink they are selling, the gingerbread venti-sized latte that contains 14 teaspoons of sugar and 523 calories per portion. This is just as shocking as the other one. I was wondering how many of these are sold worldwide on a daily bases and also how many of the customers have any idea about what's in their cup. The seller most likely says it's the customer's choice but if they have no idea what they are getting, there's zero chance to choose a healthy drink. >Public Health England (PHE) has set sugar reduction targets of up to 20% by 2020. [source](https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/03/uk/christmas-drinks-sugar-content-scli-gbr-intl/index.html?utm_source=twCNNi&utm_content=2019-12-03T14%3A08%3A42&utm_term=link&utm_medium=social) This is good news, at least they have a limit that must be respected. If they will respect it or not, that's another matter. However, what I'd like more is to see the sugar content and the calories that the drink contains written on the menu for the whole world to see. And I'd like to believe this is just a matter of time and my dream will come true very quickly. I know sugar is sweat, what's sweat tastes good, what tastes good sells but there must be a line, there must be some responsibility from the sellers part. Sugar can be addictive and we have enough addicts already.
