Balance of Food

I live vicariously through others when it comes to drinking soft drinks. I rarely drink pop these days, though I used to be a pop-a-holic. This Chicago Tribune story about an increase in drinking soft drinks for breakfast brought back many wonderful memories for me. I have to focus on this woman in the article: she says it's not unusual to have three cans of Coke before leaving the house. "There is nothing better than the feel of Coke on the back of your throat in the morning," said Dee McKinsey, a morning pop drinker since the 1970s. As bad as I was, and I thought I was bad, I NEVER had three cans of pop before 9 a .m. But there is nothing like that taste of pop first thing in the morning, even if I will never likely experience it again.
