May I just ask why we now have Splenda with fiber? Seriously. I know I don't post random, reactionary posts, but where is our sense of food and nutrients when we're adding "fiber" to artificial sweetener? Oh wait, our sense is in marketing, in the dollar, not in health. I'm not saying Splenda with fiber is the big bad evil, but encouraging consumers to settle for getting fiber or other important, available nutrients, in manufactured foods rather than in whole foods, to me, is an evil.
As it boasts on the Splenda website: "Watch the fiber add up! One gram of fiber per packet adds up quickly -- imagine two packets in your favorite morning coffee and one sprinkled on your whole grain
cereal – that’s three more grams of fiber just at breakfast!" Why do you need fiber on whole grain cereal?! There's your fiber right there!
You will here more about this from me later.
