What are your favorite food and drinks?

[Bill Mattocks]

What's the diet mountain dew taste like compared to regular? I'm a big fan of the regular but need to cut down on sugar, if it taste as good or almost I think I could switch.

When I first switched, it was because I had been diagnosed with diabetes. I thought it tasted very terrible. Like learning to smoke cigarettes, it took about two weeks to start liking it. If you stick with it, it becomes sweet where it wasn't before, trust me. Then you'll like it and think it tastes just like regular Dew, and regular Dew will taste WAY too sweet. But the first time? Yuck.

It's different in the same way the diet version of any drink is different. If you expect it to taste the same as the sugar version, you will be disappointed. If you're accustomed to drinking the diet version, the sugary version will taste odd.

I drink Diet Dew for the same reason Bill does. I cannot drink the sugary Dew, because it's weird. I can drink the sugary version of Fanta or Pepsi, though, because I don't drink their diet versions.

My favorite food and drinks are usually stuff I can cook. Pancakes! Fun to make. Fun to put berries or chocolate. Never both though at same time though.

Texmex is pretty neat from time to time. I enjoy having chips and salsa. Homemade burritos with salsa sprinkled in there too. Tamales are also nice

I mostly cook stew and cornbread. Occasional chili night. Brick oven pizza is my favorite to cook. I like to think I have a somewhat variety of food I like. Though I don't know much about cultural food in general so I just stick to what I know mostly.

But in the spirit of the thread....not sure I have a favorite food, it would be Chinese, and there is so much to choose from...but for the moment lets just say its Jianbing

Favorite drink.... tea.... not flavored tea or herbal tea just plain black and green teas

I thought red bean buns

I thought red bean buns

Those are good too...but only with real red beans, not the paste.. but they just do not beat Jianbing

I actually have low blood sugar, I'm 31 and I've been told that's a warning sign of type 2 when I get older. I hear alot of people who are type 2 start out like that. Soda is my only real vice. My mom and grandma had type 2. I'm trying to prevent it for myself if possible.

I've had diet pepsi I think it's actually good. Diet Dr pepper I have to be in the mood for.

Can someone explain why you think the non-natural drink such as Coke, Pepsi, ... that contains only artificial color and artifical flavor can be any good for you?

When my daughter was in grade school, her class had a test that put larvae in

1. Coke.
2. vinegar.
3. baking soda.
4. water.

The larvae died in the Coke first. If Coke can kill larvae faster than vinegar and baking soda can, what will that do for your stomach?

Tobacco is natural, but 1/3 of the people who use it die premature, ugly deaths from the various diseases it causes.

Streptomycin is not natural. How many people are alive because of it?

Kale is lauded as a superfood by some. But it's not natural; it (along with other common vegetables) were created by man from wild mustard.

Apples, in their original form, were virtually inedible.

Natural does not equal good, and man made does not equal bad.

Not my favorite, but darn close, my wife just made sticky rice with peanuts and Chinese dates. Put it all in a rice cooker, eat warm...
