Trendy + Healthy?

Pretty mundane activity to report: Last week I ordered sum pizza and the guy asked what I wanted to drink. Usually I do pop with pizza - it only makes sense, but that time I thought I'd be a little more health conscious. I was not about to drnk water...and Pepsi products make me unhappy...so then I saw this new Lipton Whole Leaf Green Tea sweetened with honey....you know antioxidants is a current health buzzword, which means green tea (along with pomegranates and blueberries)is the new health trend.

I drank the tea, and it was kinda tasty - then I looked at the "nutrition information." It said, like 36 grams of sugar, 32 grams of carbs, 130 calories and like...nothing else. No protein, no vitamins, no nuthin else "healthy"...and then it had that statement about not being a source of other nutrients. I felt a little duped.

They make it seem like green tea is this potent, inherently magic natural health saviour-thingy...but I'm thinkin, by the time you bottle it up and package it like a soft drink, I'm back to square one. Ah, well...in our minds it still makes us feel better than drinking anything w/bubbles.
