[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Related question: why don't many of you have other options in the house other than wine/beef, coffee/tea and water?  Why don't you drink other types of beverages?  Yes they're sugary and not healthy but how is this different than keeping cookies/pastries/cupcakes/ice cream in the house?[/quote]

I personally don't drink beverages other than water, the very occasional glass of wine, and the occasional glass of juice. I sometimes buy Diet Coke, regular Coke or root beer if we are having a casual dinner and family is coming--I know some of my family members like those around. I keep Diet Coke in the garage for my local aunt.

Here's the difference, for me, between ice cream or cookies and Diet Coke: ingredients. Namely, chemicals. With the types of desserts/treats I buy or make, you can pronounce literally every ingredient--butter, sugar, cream, etc. I don't consume chemicals. And I only rarely have sugary treats. I keep them around because my husband and kids do eat them regularly, but if I'm going to enjoy a treat, it's certainly not going to be high in chemicals and from a can.[/quote]
