  2. Yeah, those socialist Scandinacian countries are real hellholes... Smart taxation have shown to be a good macroeconomic instrument in many areas, unfortunately not on fat. Stop thinking in black and white.

  3. Sucralose and Aspartame are not used in diet products because they contain less calories, but because they are sweeter, which means that less is required for the same level of sweetness. Sucralose is 600x and Aspartame is 200x sweeter than ordinary table sugar. So you'd require 1/200 and 1/600 as much of the substances, and thus contain 0.50% and 0.17% as much calories respectively compared to table sugar. This is not arguable. It's fact. Now fuck off.
