Today’s FAQ is with Nate. He’s keeping it real with news about his sugar addiction…
FAQ #1: Nate, you really are such a well-behaved kid. What is your parents’ secret?
Nate: Sugar. In one form or another, they give me sugar all day. This works very well because they get to have a really sweet kid, and I can feed my addiction. Win-win.
FAQ#2: Sugar? Surely not. Isn’t your mom sort-of a Paleo spokeswoman? Doesn’t she regularly preach about the evils of sugar?
Nate: Yeah, yeah. She might not eat sugar, but that doesn’t stop her from carrying yogurt-covered raisins and fruit snacks in her purse. All. The. Time. She keeps the goods for me, and I let her drag me all over town on errands.
FAQ #3: Are you saying your mom bribes you with sugar, the same food which she considers evil?
Nate: Yes. But I’m telling you, it’s a win-win. I sit with her outside Tae Kwon Do, ballet, drama classes, Tball, and Girl Scouts. And I’m happy about it. Thrilled. And loving the chocolate milk she also carries in her purse.
FAQ #4: But you eat healthy foods for your meals, right? Those aren’t sugar, surely.
Nate: Ummmmm. Huh. I don’t eat much at meals. My mom does cook a lot of Paleo stuff, but I’m never hungry for meals. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s all the smoothies I get for snacks?
