Splenda Skirmish After Sugar Lobbyists Fund Study

I avoid sucralose like the plague. I consider it even worse than HFCS. I don't mind other substitutes like aspartame or acesulfame potassium. Obviously I prefer real sugar, though, and at home I only use raw sugar.

Sugar-Free Pumpkin Peeps, Not Worth the $2

Ewww. Splenda does not belong in food, period.

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

I should learn to read the comments before I write my own :) Last one, I swear. I guess I've had all sorts of strange things on flatbread pizzas. Egg, beans, salsa.. Wasn't really thinking of those as pizza, but then pizza in Italy is closer to that sort of thing than what you would get as most pizzerias in America!

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

Mm, I guess I've also had goat cheese on pizza, with roasted veggies. That's kind of outside the norm. (It was a frozen pizza, actually!)

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

When I was in Italy, I had pizza with brie, mozarella, and pear. My partner's pizza had shredded horsemeat (sfilacci di cavallo), and uh.. some other stuff I don't recall.

Yes, there is veggie pepperoni, but it's not very good. I haven't had the real stuff in over a decade, but I hope it tastes a lot better.

When I'm having *good* pizza, I like to enjoy it with just cheese, but the pizza locally isn't that good, so I cover it with veggies :)

I do like pineapple on pizza, but without ham. I don't actually consider that "weird" or anything.

Foods We Loved as Kids, Maybe Not as Adults

Oh right, also unnatural fruit juices, and Sunny Delight, which we used to drink a lot. I was given a bottle fairly recently because someone's mother sent her a case, and it was horrible.

Foods We Loved as Kids, Maybe Not as Adults

I pretty much can't eat anything overly processed now, including any sort of pasta from a box (mac & cheese, hamburger helper, etc) or can (the aforementioned Spaghetti-Os). Also ramen, white bread, processed cheese food slices. All the stuff that I ate as a child because we were poor, and my mother neither had time to cook, nor wanted to (if she can't make it in the microwave or toaster oven,it's not worth making). Especially the ramen.. I physically cannot eat that stuff now, because it makes me nauseous. Also anything that's too sweet. Most candy is ok, but sugared cereals or prepackaged pies/brownies/etc are not.

Table Manners III: Do you eat European or American-style...

Like AliNC, I rarely use a knife in the first place, so I tend to just eat with the fork in my right hand. I have pretty much no coordination in my left hand, though, so using the fork in that hand would be very difficult for me, and possibly messy.

Tiramisu. I got some "to go" last night and had it for breakfast. Do I feel guilty? Yes. Will I do it again, first chance I get? Yes.

My guilty pleasure is that I can't pass up a piece of cheescake. Any kind! Plain, fancy - as long as it is cheescake...new york style, any style - love it. Thanks for this opportunity!

I am a sweet freak with very little guilt, though every now and again I get sad for no reason. The other day I ate a spoon of Duncan Hines fudge frosting right out of the container. It was all delicious and trans fatty. Does that count?
