My 5 year old has developed an obsession with protecting trees and I was really impressed because I thought she had some higher level understanding of environmentalism but she just informed me she's afraid we're going to run out of maple syrup.

She does have a higher level understanding of nutrition though, the body runs on sugar

You really should do some research.

Humans have, what is known in medical science, metabolic flexibility, which is akin to a hybrid car that can run on electric or gas.

Human body can run on glucose or fat. Glucose is not required at all.

Glucose is preferred though
