PsurferInteresting seasonal read on cane sugar:
[
www.nytimes.com]
"Coca-Cola made in Mexico, sweetened with sugar, has a cultish following; its fans also hoard “Kosher for Passover” Coke each spring, produced without corn syrup for observant Jews who avoid corn (and other grains) during the holiday."
For the lord Jehovah spake, and he said unto his chosen ones,
"HARK! AND LISTEN UNTO ME, FOR I AM YOUR LORD JEHOVAH! THOU SHALT NOT PARTAKE OF CORN, OR CORN SYRUP (OR OTHER GRAINS), LEST I BECOME GREATLY DISPLEASED AND CAUSE YOUR BODIES TO BLOAT IN THE MANNER OF THOSE FAT BIBLE-BELT AMERICANS. SODAS YE SHALL NOT DRINK, EXCEPT FOR THE SODAS HECHO IN MEXICO, WHICH I HAVE CAUSED TO BE MADE FROM A MYSTICAL WHITE POWER, AND NAY THAT POWDER IS NOT CALLED COKE, IN A MIGHTILY IRONIC TWIST, BUT IS RATHER CALLED SUGAR, AS IN THE SWEETNESS OF ANGELS.
AND NO PORK EITHER! NOR SHALL YE PARTAKE OF THE SHELLFISH OF THE SEAS, FOR I HAVE MADE THEM UNCLEAN, ALTHOUGH I FORGET EXACTLY WHY AT THIS MOMENT.
THAT IS ALL!
OH, AND GROW REALLY LONG BEARDS, AND WEAR TINY CAPS, BECAUSE I FIND THIS PLEASING TO MY OMNIPOTENT EYE, OR EYES, SINCE APPARENTLY I CREATED YOU IN MY IMAGE. FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING, BECAUSE I DO NOT, AND REPEAT, DO NOT LOOK AT ALL LIKE THAT MATISYAHU RAP STAR, WHOSE NOISES I FIND MOST DISPLEASING, FOR WHICH REASON I HAVE DECIDED TO CAUSE HIS SONGS TO VANISH FROM ALL CHARTS AND SCROLLS.
OKAY, THAT IS ALL. NO REALLY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE."
