OnlySunshine Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I hate regular/diet soda. I used to drink WAY too much. Now I love to drink tea but I've also recently discovered Zevia which is sweetened only with stevia and erythritol (no sugar or artificial sweeteners and DEFINITELY no HFCS!). I love the Ginger Root Beer flavor but I would never drink it as much as I used to drink soda. For one, it's too expensive, and I know the problems with drinking any type of soda. However, it is helping my tonsil stones to go down in size if I drink it a few times a week. The carbonation dissolves them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) BTW, if anyone needs a huge dose of reality about the kind of junk we Americans eat on a regular basis, I recommend you watch Morgan Spurlock's "Super Size Me" or read Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation." It was my wake up call. I will NEVER set foot inside a McDonald's (or pretty much any fast food hamburger joint) again - not even for water or a salad. The amount of chemicals they pump into their food is unreal. My internist doctor warned me that they even have a chemical smell in the air to make you crave the french fries when you step inside. :x Watch "Super Size Me" on Hulu for free (warning, some profanity and sexual talk) http://www.pbs.org/pov/foodinc/fastfoodnation_03.php Edited June 12, 2014 by MaterMisericordiae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tells you in the "Super Size Me" documentary. You're better off making them at home or buying ones made out of wholesome ingredients. And to think, I used to eat the nuggets as a kid. I was none the wiser - until now. http://www.foodmatters.tv/articles-1/whats-really-in-chicken-mcnuggets-scary Edited June 12, 2014 by MaterMisericordiae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you aren't, I'd recommend Hillary's Eat Well Veggie Bites. Her veggie burgers are out of this world and REALLY healthy. http://www.hilaryseatwell.com/products/original-veggie-bites#.U5kCmbFCzVs Edited June 12, 2014 by MaterMisericordiae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link! I will have to order some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Since you have such a good grasp of real science, could you please back up your position with some evidence. Snide comments are not actually science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossCuT Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah Ive seen that video Arfink...its still gross. Double battered in who knows what...then deep fried.

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X37N-INuRUg[/media] I don't think I could trust someone who works for McD's to tell me what the nuggets are made of. There are more news articles pointing that there is junk in the nuggets that we shouldn't be eating.
