I haven't consumed any sort of soda for decades. The obvious health issues aside, I simply don't like putting any sort of sweetener into anything I consume.

I think a lot of obese people attempt to justify their bad habits by hiding behind their diet soda (or other diet drinks). It's a sad testament to the mentality of the obese when they can't confront their problem and control their health. Much like an alcoholic who isn't able to control his drinking, it boils down to a lack of willpower and self control.
