I'm from Sweetden (Sweden) and it's all about the sweets there. No high fructose corn syrup though, so a bit healthier than here. But I too have noticed that the longer I stay away, the less I crave me.

Being pregnant with a boy even had me grimacing at the idea for a while during the 2nd trimester, so that was super weird for me!

Now I'm craving sweets, but I think it's cause I'm a bit low in sleep and i used to have sugar as my added energy, since I don't do coffee. Coffeine is fine, but all the drinks I'd consider drinking with it also comes with a bunch of sugar 😅

Also, it's Christmas time, so there are special Christmas traditional sweets that I'm missing.

I’ve never been, but I love Sweden. Had no idea you were from there, that’s so cool. And I’m SURE the quality of even the junk foods is so much better where you were than me lol

Most Americans I meet who visit Sweden have commented on how the food has so much more natural flavor.

Unfortunately I've noticed that they've started adding soy in foods there too, but at least high fructose corn syrup is illegal so they're not adding that.

I like the free market, but I also like not needing to read labels as thoroughly. 😅

Yeah I know exactly what you mean and I kind of feel the same way. Do what you want, but it’s easier if obvious poisons are just removed from the equation
