Re: Better alternative

"Often the zero cal ones are sold out and the sugary ones (which consume 3/4 the shelf space) are all that is left."

Round these parts it's the opposite. If I want to buy fizzy in the most environmentally friendly container* then the local supermarket buys pallets of 50/50 diet and sugar versions. Which end up being half a stack of diet versions, and having to buy fizzy in plastic bottles.

The whole "one dietary cause of obesity" shit is annoying me no end. They fucked around with fat, to finally conclude that the replacement good fats (trans fat) may in fact be worse for you than saturated fat (we've been eating saturated fats since before we where sapians...), so fat was "bad" and got replaced by sugar. Now sugar is "bad" so we're going to replace it with sweeteners.... can't see any problems there.
