With Easter just a few days away it's safe to say that in addition to being a religious holiday it also known for it's immense sales of candy! In the USA people spend upwards of $823 million USD in chocolates, marshmallow peeps, creme filled eggs, and more 1. That results in about one pound of sugar for every man, woman, and child in the United States - for this one Holiday!
How can your poor teeth combat this sugar over load!?

That is crazy how much sugar in a Creme Egg, they are so nice though, arrg now I want one.
When you see the total amount of one holiday spend by everyone as a whole that could cover so many things like adobe housing - so people wouldn't have to worry about mortgages, gardens with freshly grown veges/fruits and herbs.
We get in the trap of thinking we are harming our children by not giving in to these holidays where it's the other way around.
