Columbo
Never again
Anyone else tried Coke Life yet?
As a Coke (a Cola) addict who won't drink any of the diet or Max varieties, nor Pepsi, this one is surprisingly good. It *almost* tastes like full sugar Coke to me, so I think I'll switch to it.
When did coke life come out?

Am I a hypocrite for despising cruelty to animals but still eating meat every day? Because curse me if I am.
Not if it's Happymeat!

Nothing happy about meat, or fish, especially if it has been cruelly killed by us greedy humans. But I just love steak so much. Just so much. But it is bad. Very bad. No it's not. Stop being so indecisive reepbot you weirdo.

I haven't tried it, but it strikes me as the 'environmentally friendly' Coke - for a more 'sustainable' lifestyle. The green looks odd to me.Anyone else tried Coke Life yet?

i.e. Coca-Cola and green, should never be seen!

Yeah, I just looked it up and that green does not look good!

Some farmer foodies have no problem with it if they gave the animal a good, happy life; treated it well and killed it humanely. The treatment of the animal being a defining factor.

Well they could've chosen a better green at the very least.

I quit all soft drink nearly 2 years ago, but I did always dream of a stevia sweetened one. I started looking up how to produce one myself and quickly saw it was too hard so just figured I'd wait for coke to do it. This one is only half stevia though yeah? Either way, those millions of dollars in profit should be mine!
Well I'm pretty much exactly the same, not sure if being just like me is ever a comforting thing though. Some farming practices are more ethical than others, I guess research where your meat is sourced and make sure it fits in with your own moral compass. My eating habits are such a mess that if I cut out meat I'd starve to death pretty quickly, but maybe you can afford to so read it out more if it's such a concern of yours.

...well according to the meat industry... because the animals are put to death 'humanely' and they apparently 'don't suffer' during it then it's okay to eat meat... I guess we have to live with that explanation otherwise we might a well just all go out into a paddock and start grazing on grass like cows... just remember... they tell us that if it wasn't for the human race breeding these animals just to eat them then they probably would have had no life at all and would have died out and become extinct a long time ago!... or so they say... (nudge nudge wink wink... say no more!)... lol!... so in answer to your question reepbot... no... you're not a hypocrite... cheers.

Yep, research does seem like the right way to go. Gain knowledge, fight my ignorance. But still maybe me becoming a vegetarian will be healthier for me?

It certainly can be. There are a few schools of thought there, and be careful with your research in this topic as you'll find it can be manipulated for both sides. Obviously high quality fresh food, especially fruit and veggies, will always be good for you provided you're meeting your macros. For some context though, Doritos are completely vegah and I believe Oreo's used to be as well, but subsisting solely on these has zero health benefits.

Well I guess the high salt and sugar content on those junk foods cancels out any benefits. But yes, fresh is best.

Yep, exactly. They are processed junk foods, and just an example how vegan/vegetarian doesn't automatically equal healthy.
