I hate coffee and drink a pop maybe once every 5 or 6 months. If it's not around, i don't miss it. occassionally i'll be offered one at a friend's house and i'll accept. That's about it. I drink a bit of green tea and maybe 5 cups of regular tea in a year.
I have tried something recently. It's a little bit messy but i feel i have found an even more paleolithic way to drink green tea. Okay, water and tea leaves ARE natural and when mixed together, create a somewhat natural drink. They get digested together so it's the same as if you ate the leaves and then had a glass of water. BUT is the tea bag itself paleolithic? No, it's made of some kind of fabric or something... probably with chemicals. So, i now cut the tea bag open, dump out the contents into a mug, and pour steaming hot water over itl mix it up and let the flavour soak and there you go! A nice natural cup of tea. The only problem is the green bits left in the cup after. i actually scooped them out with a spoon and put it on toast and ate it. It's not as bad as it sounds. Even though, toast isn't a paleolothic food but i am slowly working on that part. Point is: tea bags aren't natural.
I met a woman selling these "vegetable capsules". It's a little pill with dried out vegetables in it in the form of a powder. She ranted and raved about how they are good for you because it's not a supplement but real vegetables inside I said "wow that's really clever... what's the capsule made of?" She had no idea haha. Not everything that claims to be natural and healthy IS. In fact, from my experience, most times when something has to say "this is healthy" in big letters accross the front of it, it pobably is just something unhealthy with a vitamin added or fibre or something. Check out all these cereals that claim to be good for your kids... captain crunch, lucky charms, trix... just dumb.
