Why soda pop is so good for you:

I know none of you actually drink soda. But … just for good measure, here is a gut-wrenching close-up look at what sippin’ that can o’ Coke gets you:

In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because [...]

Agua

I’ve lived nearly all my life living in the Bay Area, a region with a climate ideally suited for humans. The past five years I have been living in San Francisco, basically the coolest and among the wettest parts of the Bay Area. Surrounded by (salt) water on three sides, cooled by the marine layer [...]

That’s Odd, or, The Gross-ery Store

- In an odd twist of fate, I ended up inside a Safeway the other day. Not a big deal, you say? For me, it was. Looking back, it has likely been close to a year since I’ve set foot inside a Safeway. It’s not that I don’t grocery shop; I do. But I shop [...]

When vegetables attack

Ever been injured by a raw veggie?
I have. I attempted to open a package of zucchini, a plastic plate shrunk wrapped with celophane: I stabbed through a tense area of the plastic wrap with my index finger, and then, WHAM! CRASH! BURN!!! AARGH!

Seattle

I have arrived in Seattle on a glorious, sunny, crisp day. The flight was a little too early in the morning to be pleasant, and then it was delayed for about 40 minutes. The airport was a fucking zoo, man. And I was not able to sneak Moula in sans ticket. So it started out [...]

Cough cough snore

Talk about bad timing. So, just as I embarked upon my bodily cleanse, I was overtaken by a foul virus. In addition, at the very same moment, I had begun a new dietary supplement - ‘Ultimate Meal‘. Actually it is a meal replacement, not a supplement. But whatever. The point here is that just as [...]

How do you fuck up chicken noodle soup?

Ok so I am doing this ‘total body cleanse’ which consists of taking powders and packets of pills for seven consecutive days. It also requires eliminating certain things from my diet: refined sugars, processed foods, fats, caffeine, alchohol, red meats, etc etc. So that is great. I started it yesterday. It is great and I [...]

New Tab

New Tab is NOT the old Tab. I was given one on the street today (outside of Peet’s, by a promo person). You remember Tab right? The ‘diet’ soda of the early 80’s? And a soda that for some unknown reason disappeared from our supermarket shelves nearly 20 years ago. Well, now Tab has been [...]
