I am so done with Aspartame*

*contains a source of phenylalanine

I'm increasingly annoyed with the lack of food choices in England. Just because it's "light" doesn't mean I want to eat it. Where are all the foods with regular sugar and so on and so forth? Aspartame doesn't taste as nice and it could potentially have some dire effects. Granted, added sugar isn't healthy either, but that's why there's a moderated intake. Can't I do that with aspartame? No because everything in England contains it.

With England's concern for health and safety, you'd think this might raise an eyebrow, no? Dodgey.

Congratulations, Meg.

You are right-on about the neuro-toxic artificial sweetener, aspartame.

For your readers, here is a very graphic, private study making the rounds on the Internet.

I've been consuming it all my life...and.... I'm normal.

Oh... and Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate doesn't contain it... so I guess you should just eat that ;-)

Meg said...

you just keep thinking that, andrew.

i like galaxy chocolate... but i'd rather eat real food.

Andrew Duffell said...

Chocolate is real food... anyhow, you eat pigeon and other dodgy game foods at the Wakes. How can you complain?

Meg said...

i'd rather eat pidgeon and other things over aspartame...

Andrew Duffell said...

that was my point...

Meg said...

you asked how i could complain... what i said doesn't reiterate your point. either that or you were assuming they don't have things with aspartame... which isn't true because everything in england has it.

Andrew Duffell said...

The latter.
...and pigeon is the crap of the earth, so we have no need to add more crap to it.

if only i could have some pigeon with aspartame. that would be swell.
