Sets the glucose meter on overload, doesn't it?

A very surprising factoid I heard this morning, I'm posting it here because it has to do with food (kind of):

Starbucks notwithstanding, Americans today drink less coffee than we did in the 1940s!

I have to say that the dessert on the first picture on the top right looks like something you'd find in a toilet or on the street when a big dog has digestive problems!!!

I thought that too!

In fact none of it looks very appetising.

Probably just as well!

That makes perfect sense. With everything that's added, there probably isn't much coffee in Starbucks coffee.

I think the main difference is that in the 1940s, people still tended to drink coffee with every meal. Not too many people do that anymore.

Coca-cola replaced coffee as a morning drink in the south of USA several decades ago, providing not only the caffeine, but 39 grams (10 cubes :eek

of sugar. The bad habit has been creeping north (especially among young folks) also contributing to "why you are huge".
