Review: Zevia, the Soda With Stevia

zevia cola can
Track 4 from “Transistor”, by 311 -or a Star Wars Trilogy Sandwich

Okay, this one’s been on the shelf and now the hot weather is officially here, I thought it was time to send it out.

Awhile back, I noticed a google ad here on the site and thought, “Soda with Stevia? -NO WAY!” -I immediately shot out an email & Stacey Fujimura + the good folks at Zevia sent us out a sixpack of their soda.

Vegetarians Responsible For Global Warming

Thank GOD there is at least 1 man out there talking sense.

And that man is Carlos Mencia.

Love him or hate him, he's right. Vegetarians, especially ones addicted to leafy greens instead of Tofu-snorting, are themselves the planet-destroying enviro-pariahs they love to dehumanize and rag on.
Keep Destroying the Earth's Photosynthetic and Carbon-Fixation capacity by eating nothing but plants, you dirty post-hippie patchouli-soaked Gastro-snobs!!! -Vid after the jump. (NSFW)

Raw-Foodies... ...

-Sooooooo Burrrrrrrrned!!!

It's anathema for people like that to get over the "Eat it as I found it"-mantra, but various forms of cooking can help develop/change the amount of nutrients that actually make it into your bloodstream, instead of just passing through you.

One of the veggies that benefits is the tomato. Raw food studies have found people deficient in Lycopene if it's not cooked. ->Viva Italia!

At the intersection of fat loss fads and a problemmatic disease, comes the use of a fairly old diet that helps reduce seizures where incidents are frequent and anti-convulsants stumble.

The various Keto Diet study results thus far seem to reflect the greatest benefit for children instead of adults. It was unclear why. -Were the adults drinking on the side? Was there increased neuroplasticity in children?

'Natural' Beef Sales Increase with Mad Cow Concerns

ghostly cow skull on pole
-Although the government spec for it is a bit squishy, the market for 'Natural' beef is increasing at about 20% per year. This is largely due to fears about Mad Cow Disease (BSE). Given the natural/organic market share is presently 1%, that growth rate is still slow.

As the market for ‘Natural’ is increasing, the overall beef market is down from 25.1 billion pounds in 1995 to 24.6 billion pounds this year.
