(13:00) Candy doesn't pretend to be healthy, and if you eat it, you know you're making a choice. That's why LIL (Life Into Living) is meant as an infrequent treat. Some people are addicted to sugar, however, so they need to adjust their intake accordingly. He shares a story about going home to Donaldsonville and a local coffee shop. (19:00) One of the coffee drinks sounds very sweet. It has condensed milk in it, molasses, and brown sugar. Condensed milk has 166 grams of carbs in one cup!
