The Guardian published a few stories this week about the ADAs preference for insulin rather than lifestyle changes to treat type 2 diabetes. They’re a really interesting read.
I just read the one about people getting fired for refusing to approve recipes with a bunch of unnecessary Splenda. Splenda gives the ADA a ton of money, so now they’re pushing salads with added sweetener. Some kind of potato lobby gives the ADA money, and shocker, suddenly they’re recommending potatoes to people who shouldn’t eat excess carbs. It’s pretty fucking shameful.
I’m not sure. Salad dressing, maybe? But the Guardian article was talking about recipes having like, 1/4 cup of Splenda, which sounds insane for salad no matter where you put it.

Wait why would you even put a sweetener on salad out of all things?

I mean maybe it’s a culture difference but I can’t imagine salad having sweet stuff in it. It just doesn’t make sense.
American food tends to be way sweeter than anywhere else I’ve ever been, so yeah, probably cultural.
