They couldn't care less if it was a danger or not.

At least it comes with a big warning: FDA approved.

I never thought of using it. But Angela cracked me up the other night. I
said something like, "Honey?" And she replied, "Yes, Truvia!?"

Those of us who are educated recognize that not everything that kills
bugs is actually toxic. Indeed some of the nonnutritive sweeteners do
indeed kill sugar ants due to the fact that unlike humans, ants don't
understand the nonnutritive nature of the sweetener and thus starve to
death when they have access to a supply of said sweetener.

I haven't had tequila since 1974. I'm not choking. After my buddies and I finished off the bottle, we smoked some roofer, and went to the hotel where I entered a beer drinking contest. I went outside after winning contest, and woke up in the RCMP(Mounties)jail in Fernie British Columbia, Canada. Never again.
