A friend (acquaintance? former classmate? tangential social circle member) of mine puts three or four packets of sugar into soda already filled with HFCS in restaurants because, and I swear I'm not making this up, "they don't make soda the way that they used to, the health nuts ruined it." We've spent so much time thinking about ways to prolong average lives, we didn't stop often enough to think, should we?
