[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1135725, member: 13739"] I don't know if my taste buds are hyper sensitive to the taste of sweetners, but I can't stand anything with added sweetners. I find it tastes completely vile! Really ****** me off that everything's being forced into having sweetners. Used to love some Ribena cordial now and again, but since they switched to sweetners, I've found myself drinking more Coca Cola (Pepsi, before they changed their recipe to include half sweetners, eww) when I really fancy something other than plain water. So in an odd way, the whole sugar tax thing has had the opposite effect on me, as I've ended up consuming more unhealthy drinks than I used to! Not entirely sure it's having much impact anyway. I still see some mums greet their chubby kids with chocolate bars and crisps after school - can't even wait till they get home! There needs to be more education on food in schools imo. Cookery lessons should be taken as seriously as the core subjects like maths and science. It's clear that there's generarions of parents who can't cook, or too lazy to cook, or too busy to cook, as such the kids have no hope! Teach 'em how to cook properly, with correct portion sizes. Well balanced meals, that doesn't always mean ultra low fat, they need to be tasty and enjoyable. [/QUOTE]
