I have 2 cups of tea in the morning and a square of dark chocolate at night. No idea if it helps my BP but it makes me happy.

You're getting your flavinoids!

After drinking 200,000 cups of green tea in China I developed a taste for it. As a result I can't stand British tea.

Wasn't it during the Reagan years that ketchup was defined as a vegetable?

I'm on a plant-based diet. All I eat is grass. Of course, I let the cow eat the grass first, then I eat the cow.
