Lets remember a statement that always proves true.

"The truth is stranger than fiction."

While we're dismissiing all the "konspiracy theories" as "silly" or 'insane,' the "konspiritors" are laughing at us and calling us "sheeple" or "useful idiots" under their breath

We're herded right where were told to go because we're ..... sheeple.

.... useful idiots.

"Everything in moderation."

You know it never ceases to amaze me how mankind is so quick to rationalize their wrong and misguided habits.

Would any of you want to "moderately consume" poison?

If someone asked to give you .00001 of battery acid in your OJ every morning would you gladly and willingly drink it up?

Hmmmm....?

You're comparing coffee to battery acid?

No, I obviously wouldn't want to drink battery acid. The natural acids in OJ give me nasty hartburn as it is.

So are you saying I should stop drinking coffee then? Because it's "bad for me"?

Eating fish is good for you, right? Oh wait, fish is known to have tiny amounts of mercury in it, so I shouldn't eat any fish, right?

Unless you have some way to turn back the clock to a time when everything was simple, and man made chemicals didn't permeate every part of our lives, then we have to live with a certain amount of crap in our systems.

In the meantime, I can't be bothered to listen to every little study that links bad ingredient "A" with cancer type "B". If you heeded every warning and every study, believe me, you would not be able to eat or drink anything. All's you can do is try to eat and live as healthy as possible, and do the bad things in moderation.

I remember that episode of M*A*S*H where Hawkeye was bitching about the British practice of giving the wounded tea. Guy came in with a belly wound full of tea and ripe for infection.

Dunno if that was based in fact, however.

Two things I know about the "bug juice" (sorta like Kool-Aide) that they served at every meal when I was in the Navy:

1) It was delicious
2) It cleaned the fuck out of brass no matter how bad it was

Meh. Bring on your weak ass battery acid!

No I'm making a point. If its bad for you, its bad for you, no matter the amount of percentage.

Bringing up the fact that most things today have chemicals in them, doesn't change that fact.

I would think that it actually supports that fact, because if we have so many things that "naturally" have bad ingredients in it, why would we seek things that aren't necessary that has "bad" things in it?

I'm not telling anyone to drink or not drink coffee, that should be your own decision. Everyone is responsible for what they allow into their bodies. I certainly won't be paying the price for it.

A certain amount of coffee has a beneficial effect with a negligible detrimental effect.

A certain amount of rat poison has a beneficial effect with a negligible detrimental effect.

A certain amount of water has a beneficial effect with a negligible detrimental effect.

I suppose what the dude is saying everything is a poison when used to a certain degree. Hell, you can even have too much oxygen.

If you avoid everything that has any potential for detrimental effects, you'd die.

If you stop just short of that, you become my 8th grade gym teacher who ate nothing but what looked like raw grain and drank distilled water. I should check on that dude to see if he's dirt napping next to Jim Fixx.

But that's not necessarily true.

Example: Alcohol. A little seems to be beneficial. A lot, poisonous. Having a glass of red wine with your meal in the evening is a good thing. Killing several bottles every evening is not.

Vitamins? Same.

Minerals? Same.

Most nutrients? Same.

Hey, explain one thing for me is you can, i assume you're annoyed about Bud going East right?

Why is it the constant grumbling i've heard on the issue is also constant with as many people who think its like watered down piss?

I swear there's a good riddle in this, something like....

Why are people pissed off that they can't refuse to get pissed on the watered down piss anymore because its been sold to a piss-ant country so they'll have to get pissy about not drinking another piss-like beer?

Anyway so what's the deal? Everyone apparently hates it but hates it being sold too?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I've got no issue with Anheuser-Busch being sold. I think some people are freaked out 'cause they see Bud as some sort of American icon, so they're displeased with the brand being sold.

Of course, my perspective is that the small breweries in the US are where our standout beer is, so I'd much rather see those guys represented as "American Beer" than Bud/Coors/Miller. But, that's just me.

You like the stronger beers right? (I actually think Bud is very successful round and the world (and very popular) even while it is ridiculed so much at home, which is a shame, its very successful, and not in the "Wal-mart" way either).

Food is bad for you, if you eat too much of it. It could even kill you.

In my teenage years, Bud was a luxury beer. Busch Pounders FTW!

Foreigners seem to like Budweiser more than we do. I won't drink it even if it is free. I suppose, if you put a gun to my head, and made me choose between Coors Lite and Bud, I'd drink it.

I guess Budweiser is to the U.S. as Corona is to Mexico...St. Pauli Girl is to Germany...Moosehead is to Canada.

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head there. In my drinking days i would have drunk it but to me its not a "bad" beer. Sure, there's better, but i don't share this resentment of it that you and many others have for some reason.

Once I found Yuengling Lager...a local beer to me...none other would do. Pretty cool that you can now get it in so many places throughout the U.S.

Woah...

Wawa coffee --> Dick Wood
Yuengling Beer --> Dick Yuengling

There better be no "Dick" behind Deer Park Water or 4-C Decaffeinated Iced Tea. The trend would be most disturbing, Captain.
