I grew up in a home where nothing artificial was allowed, only organic and natural. If it came from a garden or a field it usually made it to our table. We drank hot tea every day, there was never any popcorn, pizza, or soda. I still remember the first time I had a slice of pizza and an ice cold glass of Coca-Cola in 1990. It was like a whole new world had opened up before me. I had fallen in love with soda. I loved the sugary sweet stuff, with its carbonation dancing down your throat sip by sip. It was heavenly. From that day on, no more hot tea, only soda all the way the colder the better. As the years past my fondness of soda grew into an obsession. Somewhere in a twenty-year span it became normal for me to go to Walmart and buy 14-20 two liters of Coca-Cola ever week and yes I did drink that much soda every week.
