Before I begin, let me say I couldn't agree with you more that tariffs on
sugar, like tariffs on most if not all goods are poor policy and should be
abandoned.

What I don't understand is why they don't convert the sugar to Splenda,
thus still using the product so that sugar beet and cane farmers can
still market their crops, but lowering the harmful aspects of
sugar....it's a win/win situation...

Splenda?

I'd rather eat earthworms with Vegamite served in a cedar bucket.

If you were saying Natrasweet or saccharin, I could understand...SPlenda
does not have a chemical aftertaste and withstands temperature change,
which Nutrasweet does not...and it doesn't convert to formaldehyde like
Nutrasweet...

Yeah, but think how well-preserved you'd be with Nutrasweet.

I've substituted Splenda in many recipes that I've served people and
they never knew it wasn't sugar...

sugar's a quick burn sort of thing. Think of the
quantitudes of fats Americans chow down at every turn. And
then have to ":jog" off again. I had lunch at a place in
Miami that the meal had to have weighed at least 10lbs. on
the plate. It was gross. What was worse was just throwing
all that untouched mountain of food away.

Maybe they were too polite to tell you? Maybe the horrid
aftertaste was disguised by all that jalapeno?

Yep, Atkins had at least one thing right... the type of
calories makes a difference.

A lot of people have also been conditioned to not throw food
away. I'm working on not buying it in the first place...
saves money too.

Nah..it was family..if they didn't like it they'd say so...vociferously...

SOn't use jalepeno's...there is no horrid aftertaste with Splenda...
