Down with HFCS!

I'm fat. I'm fat because I eat more calories than I expend.

I eat more calories than I expend because, ultimately, I don't really mind being fat (though how much I mind varies over time) and enjoy eating the calories.

I drink diet sodas because they provide the same benefit as regular sodas but I can't really tell the difference (personally, Splenda tastes fine to me, has no side effects, and I'm fine with it). If regular soda tasted better to me, I'd drink them.
