You're making excuses for a newspaper that carries a weekly health column by Dr. David Lipschitz and then just a few weeks later contradicts the information in that column by stating that artificially sweetened desserts are healthy. Why are you making excuses for that?

As others have pointed out, it provides information about community members, what the might like, what they may prepare for meals or dessert. How the heck you got this to the point you're trying to make seems just a bit preachy to me, VPL.

It's more than just saying what others might like when they say it's healthy and when it's recommended to everyone across-the-board. There's nothing preachy about it; it's just a statement of facts.

As much as we believe a particular way of living or doing things is correct, not all will agree with us. One plan doesn't necessarily fit all.

You're imagining that was my intent as if I had stated that everyone must agree with me and live the way I live. Did I actually say that one plan must fit all? You're reading things into what I said that I never said. How do you justify that?

Weight gain as we age isn't always a good thing, but there may be some who benefit from a few more pounds, you never know. We are not privy to all medical information and some making an assumption that one way is the only way, isn't necessarily correct.

It seems you're making excuses for artificial sweeteners and trying to reinforce the idea that I'm telling people that one way is the only way.
