I dislike the Monsanto corporation. They treat farmers like criminals. I don't know how they get away with so much.

Anywho, I have never followed the food fads. When doctors said to stop eating butter, because oleo was better for one's health, I ignored them. When they said eggs were unhealthy, I ignored them. When my dietician told me to start drinking diet soft drinks, I quit going to her. People need to eat real food in moderation. Processed, chemical "food" can't be good for us. And, yes, I don't look like the poster child for healthy eating, but I'd hate to think where I'd be if I ate packaged junk foods. My health is too important for me to do that.

I steer far away from artificial sweeteners. Nice to read something that backs up my suspicions.

Aspertame bothers some, some not. Drinking too much soda, diet or not, is bad for you anyway. :P
