Coffee, Tea or Water - It's all we need. Wanna' see a revolutionary change in America? Start drinking only coffee, tea or water to the exclusion of all other beverages, and only in containers that can be reused.

Please recommend, kick, rate, embed and all that good interwebs viral stuff.

1. We drink, water and tea.
There can't be anything better than iced mint tea in the summer. It is the most refreshing drink possible.

2. I've been harvesting mint for two months now
Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 01:33 AM by drexel dave
and it's the most refreshing thing ever. Squeeze the juice from a lemon into a pitcher of mint tea - WOW. Makes you feel golden inside.

And it doesn't cost a dime.

Keep on rockin' the free world.

3. So Why is Coffee from 1000s of Miles Away OK, But Local Beer and Wine Isn't?
Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 03:47 AM by AndyTiedye
Let's go back to reusable bottles for beverages.
That's how we used to do it, and most of the world still does.
We recycle everything, but reusable would be better.

It's not clear why coffee and tea are "good" but every other beverage is "bad".
Besides, I don't like coffee at all, and I'm not that fond of tea.
Watching the video, I have the impression the person who made it likes coffee a lot.

Orange juice is really good for you. Other fruit juices too.

I don't drink that much beer or wine, but I have no intention of giving them up.
I usually buy locally-produced beers and wines.

5. Nobody said anything about beer or wine being "bad"
it's about simplifying, and getting off of pre-packaged crap. Drink your locally produced beer and wine all you want.

Personally though, I won't promote alcohol.

Nothing was said about anything else (except for all of that pop and other ick) being bad.

The idea is just to radically simplify how we live, and I think the message is pretty clear.

4. Tap water is no better
Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 04:25 AM by SaveOurSovereignty
Fluoride destroys your body
Its in your toothpaste you should not be ingesting it
On toothpaste it explains if you swallow the recommended dose for usage to brush your teeth, it says to seek poison control
The same amount of fluoride in that recommended dose is in one glass of water.
Sure they will throw the studies at you saying since it was added to most city water supplies across America tooth decay has gone down, what they don't tell you is that fluoride was introduced into toothpaste at almost the same time as the water supply, which leaves their theory quite tainted.

Here's the video info text from youtube:

"Start drinking only coffee, tea or water to the exclusion of all other beverages, and only in containers that can be reused."
