     i've greatly reduced my sugar intake   
   compared to my diet of years ago, also we   
   do not add salt to our normal cooking so   
   yes, i do notice when things are sweet   
   very easily.  i also happen to have very   
   good senses of taste and smell.  so i   
   think you are assuming a lot about my   
   diet that isn't particularly accurate.

     got that covered in my previous post.   
   i'm not sure they're available to certain   
   areas as they may be considered invasive   
   or pest species or it may just be too   
   difficult for them in highly alkaline   
   soils to even get started so perhaps   
   they would not spread much in the wild.   
   around here the birds will move them   
   all over once they're growing (same as   
   the red raspberries).
