Food for thought.

when I go out I make sure I either have diet snapple or water and when I go into a resturant I bring my snapple in and no one has said anything if they did I would just show them by barix card if I had to.  I'm sorry you had the dumping Steve I hope you are feling better. I see some people making comments about portions and I know when I go out to eat I take alot of it home and get a couple of meals out of them.  I actually stay away from fast foods except Wendy's when I order a baked potato with reduced fat sour cream. I am surprised that you could't taste the difference with diet lemonade I would think that there was a difference in taste.  Maybe what we should do is when ordering a drink when we're out somewhere is to confirm with the service that it is in fact diet.
