is it weird that I prefer sugar free drinks

The normal versions taste far too sweet and they mess up my stomach

The sugar free versions are more reasonable (imo) and they don't mess up my stomach

    Yeah once you get used to the taste of the artificial sweetner its the superior version IMO. There's no corn syrup film left on your teeth either

    It's not weird if that's what you like. It makes me feel ill and triggers the gag reflex.

    I wonder if my point is allowed, the fast food industries heavy investment in partial "science" and astroturfing has been very successful.

    What do you mean by "allowed"?

    The hive view here is the rather not so nuanced sugar = bad, artificial sweeteners = great". Reminds me why I don't miss reddit. It was the same in the pro-nuclear stance which had been astroturfed to the point that "nuclear > wind and solar". Weirdly surreal and disturbing.

    I get surprised when anticapitalists start doing the work of corporations.
