Sugar Picnic

from €2,600.00

Year: 2022

“"Snorting candy like it's coke." This was my Messenger nickname when I was 16 years old.

I'm not sure at what point I became aware that I was addicted to sugar. I don't smoke, hardly drink, and don't do drugs. Just sugar. It gives me so much pleasure.

I remember being very young and ingesting alarming amounts of sugar for a snack. The supermarket cashier was scandalized because I had wiped out all their supplies. There was a day when there were no cookies at home, and I went into a frenzy. I ended up eating the sugar from the coffee jars to calm down.

Television was my second mother, I suppose like it was for all kids in the 90s before it was replaced by the internet. Every so often, there were commercials featuring kids offering all kinds of candies that we would later see at every birthday party.

Years later, the government became concerned about childhood obesity and released an ad encouraging kids to eat fruit. I was never overweight, so I guess that ad wasn't for me.

With adolescence came magazines like Bravo, Super Pop, Loka... I wish I could remember which one, as summer approached, had a group of teenagers in swimsuits on the cover with a headline that read "Operation Bikini." It gave me a tip that I still use today: "If you want to lose weight and get the urge to snack, remember that it will make you gain weight when you head to the fridge, and your hunger will subside."

As a child, I was taught to consume sugar in large quantities. As a teenager, they advised against it. Capitalism wanted me to be a consumer as a child, beautiful as a young adult.

Now that I'm an adult, I have a severe sugar addiction. I used to consume 2 chocolate bars a day for a while. Now I need a piece of chocolate after every meal.

I even had a partner who would reward me with candy whenever I did something he liked.

I'd love to quit, but I swear I can't.

Even today, in the absence of cookies, I search for sugar cubes for my coffee.”
