Sugar is a very tasty plant.

Ever try eating a sugar beet? Naaaaaaasty. Sugar cane, on the other hand, I'll agree with you about. But you can only really chew it, not eat it.

Did you fall for the anti-sugar campaign? There's nothing wrong with sugar in reasonable quantity.

That is correct, if by "reasonable quantity" you mean, "not adding any to your diet that already has plenty of fruit and vegetables."
