regardless of any specific posters itt, do children understand the difference between "cheapo" parents and parents who can't afford the arbitrary desires of children? are parents beneath above a certain income threshold held to a different standard? do children from lower income families resent their parents more?

yes? I feel like I understood there were limits to what my parents could get and never felt comfortable pushing them on it. My dad yelling at my mom about finances with us in the house did uh, some things.

The kids will eventually understand why Disney vacations and unlimited robux were untenable and why you would have had to turn them down.

My mom keeps going to disney long after everyone else has gotten bored with it. Family jokes about it but now I'm convinced it's a sign of deep traumatic illness.

So, you know, there's that.

Recent recipe tweaks by soft drinks giant Pepsico (PEP.O) demonstrate the struggle the industry has when it comes to balancing taste preferences with health concerns. Pepsico removed aspartame from sodas in 2015, bringing it back a year later, only to remove it again in 2020.

I was slightly upset as a kid that my parents said no to Disneyland but after growing up I get it. As a parent I think you can make the decision that going to a national park or something is better for your kid then an overpriced mall with rides

There's no winning with any of the artificial sweeteners but aspartame has the most research behind it so if you're making GBS threads your pants about Splenda causing genetic damage aspartame is probably the safest fallback, from the perspective of a company shielding itself from bank shattering future litigation

Pepsi and coke 100% know and have known every bad thing artificial sweeteners can do, both took a hard right on sucralose years before that research even started surfacing

my previous diet dew addiction is going to kill me lol

quote:

Since 1981, JECFA has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits. For example, an adult weighing 60 kg (132 pounds) would have to drink between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda – depending on the amount of aspartame in the beverage – every day to be at risk. Its view has been widely shared by national regulators, including in the United States and Europe.

A few years ago I started getting really weird eye issues where it was almost like my eyes were seeing tv static; really hard to describe and heart rhythm stuff would happen at the same time. I was pretty worried about it and went to some specialists, no one could tell me poo poo about it.

The one thing I had changed in my diet was I started drinking aspartame sodas, so even though I felt like a crazy holistic medicine person, I removed it from my diet for days at a time and then went back on it for days at a time, over the course of a couple of months, and documented the entire thing.

Long story short, the problem would surface and go away exactly in lockstep with drinking aspartame. Stopped drinking that poo poo and never had a problem with it since. Unfortunately you can't really explain this to people or they'll think you're an insane person who also doesn't want to take vaccines and thinks the world is flat or something.

It was a crutch anyways, and switching from aspartame forced me to change my diet in better, healthier ways (long story short I switched to eating one major meal a day in the mid morning, and then just some fruit or something at dinner). That ended up working really good.

Anyways the point is, if you're having weird medical poo poo and drink a lot of aspartame, just drop that garbage for a couple of weeks and see how you feel, that is all, PSA over
while it may sound crazy, it's really not. human beings are loving finnicky weird little biological cpus. it doesn't take much of something in the blood stream or gut flora or whatever to throw them off, even something that 99% of people tolerate. one of the worst trends in pop-medicine has been goonishly authoritative statements that oh this is completely safe, it cant be aspartame that's causing your brain problems! or oh doing this is completely bad.

while there can be overall trends, just every human is loving finnicky and different in insanely complex ways we can't even quantify such that making authoritative statements that something surely is 100% fine isn't right. Holistic health people can often be right, sometimess even more than than they're wrong, in their own ways even inadvertently. correlary to this, people refusing to do diet changes because surely it cant be my diet are also extremely wrong and people should be open to adjustments

case in point:
my 95 year old mormon grandma (still alive, somehow, almost by magic) whose drank like a whole case of diet coke every day for like 50 years is still alive somehow despite being insanely unhealthy and not exercising or getting out much at all for like the past 30 years.
