Some people suck down diet soft drinks, eat diet potato chips, even put diet creamer in their coffee. Others say part of the enjoyment of these things is knowing they're not "good for you."
When it comes to eating dessert, that dividing line can seem even stronger. Some people say that if you want to watch your weight, you shouldn't be eating dessert in the first place, while others argue that dessert's an important part of every meal, so it's a good idea to come up with low-fat, low-calorie desserts that still taste good.
So how prevalent is each of these schools of thought? What type of person is happy to eat "healthy" desserts, and who prefers the full-calorie version? This week's non-scientific study hopes to shed some light on these questions.
The survey is brief, with just 15 questions. It should take only a couple minutes to complete. You have until the morning of Thursday, September 13, to complete your response. There is no limit on the number of respondents.
Don't forget to come back next Friday to see the results!
There's a little twist to this study, so I'm going to keep the comments closed on this one until we've analyzed the results.
