Unsolicited book recommendation of the week: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie. Even if you're not codependent in the clinical sense, you'll get value out of this book. It helped me discover and root out some negative communication and behavior patterns that I hadn't noticed in myself before. Highly recommended.

the linked coca-cola article has one of my pet peeves. It has a related article that hits one of my pet peeves - "Pitaya: The Selling of a Superfruit"

Look, there is no such thing as a "superfood". *All* fresh, natural produce is crammed full of vitamins, minerals, and other such good stuff. If you consider macaroni and cheese to be a vegetable, you have deeper issues that no single item of a so-called "superfood" (sheesh) will resolve.

... OK, rant over ;)

You mean standardized OJ *isn't* a pet peeve of yours? :)

No, I hear you Stuart: when the prefix "super-" is used in front of a food product, hold on to your wallet.

I agree with chacha1's comments on your article about orange juice -- right down to the part about mixed drinks. :-)

Thanks for the mention, Dan! I always get excited when one of my posts makes your list :)

Any time Laura. You had some great insights in that post.
