How do you eat .862 of a sugar snack?

That Utah stat sounds like bullshit to me. Utah’s Mormons run on sugar.

Are Mormons allowed to have sugary snacks?

Yeah, there ought to be a unit of measurement in there somewhere, oughtn't there?

It’s an average.

Twenty people per state. Is that a big enough sample?

I’m sure it has nothing to do with this:

So why not just adverage it up to a whole number?
local_vvitch t1_j3mx53f wrote
Because that’s not what an average is.
jeffinRTP t1_j3mxfax wrote
But they are saying that child eat .863 of a sugar snack
local_vvitch t1_j3mynoz wrote
No, they’re saying the total number of snacks children ate divided by the number of children is 22.862. Not that each individual child ate 22.862 sugary snacks. That’s how averages work. It’s the same reason the average number of legs for humans is 1.97 legs.

No, not to compare results state-by-state.

Technically you can, but the the margin of error is so huge that any result is almost meaningless.

I think Caffeine is the the thing that they aren't supposed to have, which most sugary snacks won't have.
That said, a lot of Mormons still have caffeine anyway.

Uh look up soaking which is even better.
You stick your penis in the girl but as long as you don't thrust and she doesn't move it isn't sex.
So you get a 3rd person to jump on the bed which creates the movement for you.
This is a real thing I cannot believe this religion still exists in younger people.

This survey was based on 20 parents reporting per state. 1. Thats a pretty low number for a study like this and 2. Might be influenced by the typical northeasterner blunt honesty and shamelessness. How many parents do you think lied “nah my darlin boy only has one sweet snack a week really....”

I grew up near hershey. I once ate a pound of fudge waiting for my friend's parents to come pick us up from the park. You're underestimating the sweet tooth of the Pennsylvania dutch.
Kevin_Wolf t1_j3oc12f wrote
I'm pretty sure that soaking is just a meme created to make fun of moral panics and religious stereotypes, in the same vein as rainbow parties and Jews having sex through a hole in the sheet.
In reality, Mormon teens who want to bonk will probably just bonk like everyone else does.

They can have caffeine in soda now but not coffee or tea
HairTop23 t1_j3opz5f wrote
While not TECHNICALLY banned, Mormons are told to avoid addictive substances and to do things in moderation so it makes sense. We had ZERO sugary things for a good 7-8 years growing up

My kid lives off of meat and candy, tbh. She dislikes most breads/crackers/pastas and vegetables are made by Satan to tempt her into hell, apparently.

What's the difference? Caffeine is caffeine.

Pennsyvania in general is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to unhealthy completely empty snacks. It seems like 98% of potato chips are from Hanover Pennsylvania, and there’s basically nothing there except distribution centers lol
There’s also Hershey’s which probably doesn’t help either
einherjar81 t1_j3qpz3l wrote
Yeah, PA is either first or second in overall snack food production.
Utz, Herr's, Snyder's... And probably a few more less well-known brands.
