oh god, Tang! I used to eat that stuff straight. It still tastes like no other--sweet, tangy, slightly gritty, yum, good stuff!

our kids hardly ever consume sugar and preservatives. But they're still nucking futs. So we tried more exercise to wear them out. It seemed to give them more energy. So then we decided kids are supposed to be like that and tuned to alcohol to numb our perception

When I was a nipper in the 70s it' was all about yellow -tartrazine. It's funny what they consider to be "new' in medicine....

I eat pixy stix by the dozen. I drink up to two or three sodas a day. I can down a pack of Gobstoppers in a day. You dont see me bouncing off the fuckin' walls.

I blame the kids, not their food.

Different things affect different kids. not all kids have a tendancy to get hypo over the wrong foods, but some do.

I will admit that energy drinks, tea-by-the-gallon, and pure cocaine tend to make me a little on the wired side.

Wait, what?
