A couple of years ago I began to notice these young workers who always had a super sized cup of soda next to them while they worked. Even the hostess of a restaurant might have one or the girl behind the counter at the dry cleaners. A few weeks ago, at the bank, I saw every teller with a large cup of soda on the counter next to her. Can’t these kids go two or three hours without drinking something?

It’s not the liquid. It’s the sugar. They’re addicted to it. And everyone of then will have Type 2 Diabetes by age 40. By 50 they’ll all have heart disease and probably NASH.

My first job was a school secretary at a catholic school. The principal was a terrifying nun who ran the school with an iron fist. I could not eat or drink at my desk. I had a half hour lunch down the hall but still had to run back to answer the phone if it rang!

They have been allowed to bring in water bottles since kindergarten.

My wife is a teacher, and when she said that I was blown away. I had to wait to get a drink of water till recess or lunch.

I can't believe how many people (young and not so young) are eating and drinking at church now. WTH? People can't make it an hour or so?
