Sure you've got enough artificial ingredients in that recipe, MMario?

Each to his own, I suppose, but my healthy-eating thinking tends towards the theory that "natural" is better, and that *moderate* intake of sugar, fat, etc. -- coupled with exercise and other sensible lifestyle choices -- is far preferable to wholesale consumption of "substitute" substances cooked up in the laboratories of the petrochemical corporations.

I hate that chalky "non-dairy cream" powder, and go through about one pint per week of milk or half-and-half for my coffee. We've never had a tub or an aerosol can of fake whipped cream in our house (or aerosol cheese or any spray-dairy product), and we whip up some real heavy cream maybe once a month or so for a special dessert and/or Irish coffee.

Of course, making up a batch of "heffalump" with all-natural substitute ingredients would go far beyond anyone's definition of "moderation"!
