The Cask of Amontillado messed me up a good bit. Being sealed into a wall would be a horrible way to die.

Fair - I know it tastes awful to some people. I personally don't mind it, and I actually prefer it in a few things like sodas.
Using non-caloric sweeteners are a "tweak" that can result in some positive health changes - drop a bit of weight, improve A1C a bit, etc. It's certainly not the only tweak that can used, though (e.g. increasing your daily step count or incorporating more fruits and veggies).
They've studied them for quite a while, and they appear to be pretty safe. Most studies that "show" that they cause cancer were done on rats (a breed of which is notorious for developing cancer) and the amounts given to them were ludicrous, something like drinking multiple cases of diet soda in a day. The only possible issue I've seen so far is that sucralose affects the microbiome, and we don't know enough about the microbiome still to know if it's negative or positive.
IMHO the reduction in calories and sugar greatly outweigh any potential negative impacts if there are any.

The old farts probably just figure they'll be gone by the time it gets really bad.
Dude, what? I am not a shill for Big Junk Food. I'm pointing out how companies make the stuff hyperpalatable to get people to eat more of it. It's unfortunately contributing to the obesity epidemic and not good for people.
I thought this was like those "bashed" or "slams" headlines, but nope, literally elbowed.
Which is also what makes them super delicious. Fat, crunch, Umami, salt. Most snacks also have sugar added even if they're not "sweet".
A medieval peasant would lose their mind eating a Dorito. Snacks nowadays are literally engineered to hijack our brains.
I can't have anything going on in the background with speaking/singing, otherwise I'll post too much attention to it.
I know, I did a search. I was wondering if anyone here had any favorites.
