MLK & RPE Both Have Dreams

Not to bastardize the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., but . . . 

"I have a dream that everyone reading this will abstain from processed and packaged foods, sodas, sports drinks and white rice today."

 While I'm at it . . . 

 "I have a dream that everyone reading this will eat at least one organic fruit or vegetable today."

 I think I'll leave it at that. Enjoy the day.

    Thanks for the dream, with which I agree. May I submit a downer.. er.. education opportunity on such a day? Today I received a coupon for a new product called "Dole Fruit Smoothie Shakers Fruit and Yogurt Kit." "Just add juice and shake. Bye bye blender." Did not see an ingredient list, but my question is: What in heaven's name are you adding the juice to?

    I'm not sure if Dole is making this product anymore; there is a "The requested page does not exist" message on the Dole website (via Google search). But here are the ingredients for the peach mango flavor, courtesy of the Walmart website:

    Fruit (Peaches, Mangos), Grade A Milk, Sugar, Nonfat Dry Milk, Chicory Root Fiber, Cream, Natural Flavor, Water, Tapioca Starch, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, Citrus Fiber, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), Yogurt Cultures, Stevia (Natural Sweetener), Locust Bean Gum, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), And Folic Acid (Vitamin B9).
