Dieters May Face Splenda Shortage
Hmm…Americans are dying in Iraq, people are starving in Darfur…and what are we worried about here in this country? A Splenda shortage? Egads! Whatever will we do??
Somehow, I think we’ll survive, but this does serve to point up just how truly blessed we are in this country, doesn’t it? We don’t have to worry about government troops storming our tents, nor do we have to worry about insurgents blowing us up or beheading us for no apparent reason. Yes, if the biggest problem we can find to bitch about is the shortage of an artificial sweetener…well, we’re certainly leading a charmed existence, aren’t we?
Personally, I will admit that I have become a HUGE Splenda fan- so much so that I actually prefer it’s taste over that of sugar. Not only that, I prefer soy milk over real milk. I don’t eat beef, but I do eat fake “hamburgers” of all sorts. God, I fear I’m becoming progressively more ersatz as I get older.
How sad is it when I become upset when my local Starbucks has no Splenda to put in my soy latte? Yep, that’s me…just keeping it real.
