processed foods--

Noted as a reminder to myself: I have really got to stop drinking cola. The office maintains free pop machines, and the caffeine hit's nice, but something about it makes my skin prickle and my stomach very unhappy. I already suspected I got headaches in response to HFCS, but this is diet pop

A lot of people have trouble with fake-sweeteners, too.

For my occasional required pop hit, I buy stuff from kosher stores- during passover they almost always have a selection of stuff made with sugar, even the 'normal' brands. (In addition to the sugar-only stuff you can find at places like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods these days.)

Organic loose tea, a cup strainer, and hot water from a coffe maker. Presto!

I already do that, when I want something hot. I just don't always want something hot.
