when i first moved to omaha and got my job (10 years ago) i would get a huge mt. dew
for breakfast.. drink that all morning.. then go home for lunch and smoke like 5 cigarettes,
then go get a huge pepsi, a huge bag of chili cheese fritos and go back to work..

and that's all i'd eat for the day.. i did that for about 3 years..
Wow. And I thought I had a bad diet. That is crazy.

my roommate would make sloppy joes every saturday for lunch.. so
i did eat other things i guess..

I think it would be just grand if Chipotle started serving breakfast burritos....

So, can you guess how Mexico went from a 5-10% obesity rate to a 70% obesity rate in one generation? The answer is not breakfast tacos. Oh, and don't quote me on the exact numbers.

Why not just drink your morning pee and take a caffeine pill?

No different than people that have to have their coffee in the morning. I'm glad I'm not a slave to caffeine.
Big difference really - sugar. Very few people if any would put that amount of sugar in their morning coffee. And the breakfast burrito thing - I've never had one before because the idea of a "burrito" for breakfast just didn't sound appealing. Now that wart elaborated, I know I will never eat one.
I wonder about this. I put more sugar in my coffee than most. Pretty much until it tastes sweet. I sorta feel guilty about it, but then I think about there being 38 grams of sugar in a soda and I think I can't possibly be using that much.

Actually, I just looked it up. One can of Coke has 39 grams, or 9.75 teaspoonfuls of sugar.

I also think high fructose corn syrup is worse for you than real sugar.

Silk makes a pretty good non-dairy creamer that has like 3 grams of sugar per serving. It also has less fat and less cholesterol than its Coffe Mate equivalents.

Man I need to find something better for me than this 24 oz DP I'm drinking right now.

Caffeine has me in its grip though...I've tried several times to quit, but when I'm at work, I get bored, and the taste is so sweet and it seems to give me something to do to take my mind off work...I rarely drink soda on the weekends for whatever reason.
