i don't know anything about splenda. in general i just think artificial sweeteners are a bad idea. if i want sweets, i have real sweets. my basic M.O. is this: don't bring home junk food and sweets. if i don't have them around, i'm almost always too lazy to go get them. if i want them badly enough to go out for them, i'm allowed.

in general i just don't believe in 'diet' food. in my experience, i'll eat twice as much of something less satisfying trying to feed a craving for the real thing, so if i've really gotta have it, i just go ahead and have it.
