ain't puritanism grand?

the website appears to be a kind of vegan thing (note the products they are hawking as alternatives)....it seems like a hobbyhorse for the members of the site, nothing more, nothing less.

you would think that these folk would worry more about high-fructose corn syrup, transfats and other industrial food processing byproducts that are dumped on those who eat processed foods....but that would lead to consideration of how industrial food systems subordinate the nutritional needs to the public to profit...and this would perhaps not inspire the governor of nebraska and others to act--because caffiene usage is considered on the site only as caffiene dependence, the motivation appears to be simple puritanism: dependency is bad. capitalism is good.

i drink about 2-3 cups of coffee when i wake up and will maybe have another cup or two in the course of the day.
i know folk who do not drink coffee: that is nice for them. sometimes i think about these folk over a cup of joe. then i do something that interests me.
