I was explaining this to my daughter in quite simplified terms the other day- we evolved to taste sugar and enjoy it because finding a sweet edible plant meant we had a source of energy to help us hunt that day. Pretty useful if you're a hunter-gatherer.

So we seek out sugar. Now we can get it whenever we want it, in much more massive quantities than we are supposed to be processing. Most of us are addicted. I'm not an exception.

I wouldn't recommend consuming an entire jar of pasta sauce regardless of sugar content, it's just not economical.

I mean a jar can be as cheap as $2 -$3 if you're having that as a meal I'd argue it's pretty economical

Not when you factor in the money spent on toilet paper needed to clean up the nasty shits you'll get from chugging a jar of tomato sauce.

Edit: Not to mention how many meals you could have gotten out of it by eating it on pasta. $5 bucks can get you 5 meals, your way you gotta spend $15 for 5 meals and you don't get any pasta.

But you save on the need for needing detergent since the tomato acid will decalcify the bowl (I don't understand chemistry)
