Unbelievable
There is a guy here at work who must weigh 400+ pounds. He pretty much eats complete junk all day long.
He goes off on these rants about how bad Splenda is for you. "It's one molecule removed from DDT" he screams every time the topic of Splenda comes up.
I just overheard him telling someone that he's going to have a hotdog wrapped in pastrami for lunch.
But somehow, he's a health nut compared to me. ::eye roll::

Re: Unbelievable
water is one atom removed from hydrogen. DRINKING WATER MAKES YOU EXPLODE!
Mind, I do think sugar substitutes are pretty whomp whomp, but that's such a bad argument for it.
Last time my mom was here, she went on this totally unprovoked rant about how she's tired of people (her doctors, maybe?) giving her a hard time about drinking gallons of Diet Coke a day.
"Would they rather me drink all those empty calories and be even FATTER!?!"
WTFever.
I think that artificial sweetener is the breastfeeding in public of the overweight. So. Much. Passion.
The hotdog in pastrami sounds kind of good (disgusting to admit).
Splenda is just TOO sweet for me. I don't know about whether or not it would give me brain zombie cancer later in life if I used it (or diet coke for that matter). I would think you would have to consume MASSIVE amounts of the substance over a very long time to turn up a zombie with your brain eroding.
If this guy is freaking out over splenda it makes no sense when he is going to die of a heart attack or stroke the way he is eating. In fact, his diet seems like it would be MORE harmful. Also, he should probably not be poking at other folks' food choices lest someone get tired of it and talk to him about his food choices in a not so nice way.
I love raw sugar (in the brown packets). Sugar has never been a huge thing for me (except when I craved sweet things during pg, but I'm back to not really caring for them now). Salt is what does me in, but I've been so much better about it. This guy should watch his salt!
Tell him he's one pound removed from congestive heart failure and then make a bet to see which one of you will die first.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
I'm thisclose to going there.

Please go there, and report back the response.
This is why I don't discuss dieting with anyone. Usually someone 100 pounds heavier than me feels the need to talk about their dieting "tricks". Yeah, sorry, doesn't appear to be working for you.
This
I'm the same way, but with Diet Pepsi. I seriously have one vice in this life... leave me the fluck alone. And no, I don't drink Diet Pepsi for diet reasons... I actually like the taste better than regular soda (regular soda feels like it coats my teeth). So don't tell me "you don't neeeed Diet Pepsi, you're not fat". I waaaaaant Diet Pepsi... stfu.
