Serious Stevia question

Why does she put it in EVERYTHING?  Applesauce doesn't need to be sweetened.  I don't understand the artificial sweetener crap- and yes I do think it's artificial.

Along the same lines, why did MIL put whatever the yellow sweetener is in her "chili" this weekend?

SHE PUT SPLENDA/HORRENDA IN THE CHILI?

WHAT?!

Her "chili" was hamburger, beans, tomato juice, and splenda.  She also gave me an awesome "vegetable soup" recipe.  Yes these need quotes.  Her veggie soup was hamburger, a can of condensed veggie soup, a can of peas, and a can of corn.  BLECH.  I saw it sitting in the refrigerator and almost vomitted.

I was sick all day from that god awful "chili."

I sweeten applesauce depending on the type of apples and the liquid I'm using. But I use honey or sugar, not fake processed crap.

Did your MIL think the splenda would cut some of the spice in the chili? I do not understand this concept. If you don't want it to taste spicy, why not just use less spices?

I don't know what the deal is, but clearly there are people out there that should not cook.  Period.

TD- there were no spices!  I do put brown sugar in my chili to add a different flavor, not to cut anything.
