For those of you who wish to drink good coffee...

Seriously go to this site. Proceeds go to charities, it is all organic, fair trade, and micro roasted.

Net Worth Coffee Brokers It is well worth it. TRUST me on this. And this stuff is so good it makes fresh Starbucks taste burnt.

Coffee contains Caffeine...that will be the next target since there's so many "energy drinks" that have unhealthy levels of caffeine in them.

It's almost time to move to a different country...we're gonna be regulated like the others but without the benefits (national healthcare, reduced rent, etc.)

I believe that Altria/PM owns a non-controlling interest in SAB Miller, a bottler of Coca-Cola products. Coca-Cola itself is not owned by Altria.

i wrote to coke asking them if they could switch bottling companies. they wrote back saying they sell their concentrate to the bottling companies. those companies then add carbonated water and bottle it. if you boycott coke products your not really boycotting coke as the coke concentrate has already been sold.
 
Actually, I prefer Cokes bottled in Mexico, sweetened with cane sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. As a matter of fact, we should all be boycotting products sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup which might be as big a health hazard as tobacco.
Actually, for you Pepsi fans, I've noticed they've started selling Pepsi and Mt. Dew with cane sugar. Look for the "throwback" labeled ones. Now I just wish coke would do the same.

EDIT: I mean, I guess coke bottled from Mexico has cane sugar, but I've haven't seen it readily available.

Yes, cane sugar is making somewhat of a comeback as a basic sweetener. This is an encouraging sign that some food processors actually have a conscience.

I find Cokes bottled in Mexico in some Mexican markets, and they are also served in many Mexican Restaurants in Southern California.

It is already being discussed here in Utah. The higher the amount of caffeine, the higher the tax.

Absolutely. And the REALLY cool thing is... they actually drink their own brand. For the longest time Dave was coming into a chatroom that was made for him with a special username and password. Around 5am Pacific time You could actually chat with Dave. Sometimes he would even have his daughter Electra on. But they boys are on tour right now.

I personally like the Dark Roast, and Black Gold. I havent gotten around to trying Goldbergs, Charlies, Megans, or Electras stuff as of yet. I am hoping to change that when I get employed again LMAO!

And once again.... the proceeds go to charity :)

Sorry, but I can't participate. I only buy REAL food. You know, that stuff you find at the edges of the store, like meats, dairy, vegetables and fruits?

You mean like this?

That's awfully close, if you substitute chicken with skin and fat removed, then ditch the high-carb potatos and and carrots.

HA! I thought about it after I made this post and it turns out I am already participating, however unintentionally.
 
I'm thinking harder and harder about getting a bunch of people together for a protest...right in front of Philip Morris. It's about 15 minutes or so from me. Why not? Maybe even have everybody there vaping...it would be great positive publicity for ecigs, if done the right way and the right things are said. I enough people were there, I know for a FACT it would take over late night news.

I'd say go for it. It may be small, but get the news involved, do a story. Then post it here.

We're nothing more than Davies in front of a gigantic Goliath.

But Davie won in the end. :) Remember that.
