False information
It is illegal to put false information on nutrition facts labels so I firmly believe that your information on Coke zero is wrong as the label clearly states there are zero calories per bottle and if they don't put the right information on, they will and can be fined

Coffee lovers who calorie count
Is there a coffee that you enjoy drinking black? I have tried a couple but nothing seems to stick for me. I usually put Coffee Mate hazelnut creamer but the calories add up.

Does anyone find it weird when people freak out over consuming an extra chocolate bar?
Like at my worst I would eat… Two bags of chips, a bag of coloured or caramel popcorn, onion dip, a 1.5L of diet coke (lol), 2 bags of sweets and a block of chocolate or… Two pizzas, a garlic bread, chicken wings, a drink and chips (usually over two days, but still not good).

That’s the one enduring phase (current obsessions are Koru, Pacific Rose, and HoneyBee apples)- in addition to my squash fixation (kabocha, mostly, but a well roasted spaghetti squash also makes me swoon.) I love…

It’s Mind Boggling How Much Sodium Is In Our Food
So I went to my doctors a few weeks ago and he told me how I had High Blood Pressure, it wasn’t very high, just slightly over the normal range, but serious none the less. He tells me how if I don’t worry about it now, it will just lead me to having all kinds of health issues in the near future. He says I needed to eat more…
