Wow i didnt know that about stevia. Im going to start trying to get away from it and using more natural sweetners to sweeten my things.

If your looking to buy an apron the flirty aprons company has a bunch of super cute ones! They are gorgeous!

I’m also unconvinced by the stevia article. It seems to be saying, “The FDA is a reliable organization [snort] and since it prefers artificial sweeteners and the corporations that produce them above this herbal extract, stevia must be really bad.” I don’t disagree that stevia could become a significant problem if people start downing it the same way they do with other “diet” beverages, but I don’t use it that way. I use 2-3 drops a WEEK. So I’m not worried.

Twilight is such a racket. I must vomit in its general direction.

I, too, need an awesome handmade adorable retro tongue-in-cheek-at-my-feminist-domesticity apron. :)

Hunh – I thought that Stevia article was rather unconvincing, but then again I just took a homeopathic hangover pill that was made from the same tree that strychnine is made from. I mean really, how much Stevia would you have to eat for it to maybe be bad? Pounds a day? It’s clear none of us are going to do that.

Have you heard of people getting sick from raw dehydrated crackers? God knows I’ve probably eaten a lot of “unsafe” foods without an effect. Does that still make them unsafe?

Just don’t worry yourself sick.

PS. And you know I think Twilight is the biggest piece of trash perpetrated on the masses so we need to discuss vampires no further.

Haha I love VeggieGirl’s comment. Twilight is an amazing character study, especially from a feminist point of view. It’s crazy! I’m only on Team Jacob because he’s not a crazy stalker/abuser like Edward, but I’ll keep the Twilight talk out of here.

That stevia article is scary stuff. You use xylitol, right? I need to find a new sweetner. I’m okay with agave but with the amount of tea I drink (and the fact that I like it sweet) means that I’d be consuming tons of it, and I really like to save it for my “dessert” tea or something.

Anthropologie has the cutest aprons! I’m sure there’s tons of awesome ones on Etsy too and that would be better, but Anthro’s make me drool.
