I am here at Coco's waiting for a meeting, so I decided to be healthy and order a tea.
When I went to sweeten my tea, I noticed that all of the sweeteners were off brand sweeteners; so instead of the normal- Splenda, Equal, and Sweet & Low, I had to choose from Sucralose, Aspartame, and Saccharin.
Wow, what a choice....do I choose, brain dysfunction, blood toxicity, or urinary bladder carcinogenicity?What should I choose?.....I choose brain dysfunction today to sweeten my heathy tea.
It sounds kind of bad when you put it in those terms; doesn't it?
As I was writing this post, sipping my brain dysfunction tea, I had to pause for a moment and think about some of the decisions I've been accustomed to making in my life. Decisions made without any thought to the outcome, or ramifications of those decisions. I would have felt much better about my tea, had I been putting 'Equal' in it, rather than the brain dysfunction causing Aspartame.
Seeing things for what they really are, at times, can be a blessing; for it makes you look at your decisions in the light of reality...not just a pretty name.
