Our bodies only need very little sugar. Early people often had very little food, so their bodies learned to save sugar as fat(脂肪). In this way, they had energy when there was no food. Today, most people have more than enough food, so the very thing that saved early people may be bad for us.
What shall we do? We just need to eat less sugar. The problem is, in today's world, it is very difficult to do that. From breakfast cereals(谷类食物) to after-dinner desserts(甜点), our food is filled with sugar. Some companies even use sugar to make low-fat food taste better.
Some people are fighting against(抵制) sugar. Many schools are replacing(更换) sweet desserts with healthier things like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens or making space for students to exercise.
