Giving New Meaning to the Phrase 'Empty Calories'

This infographic from awhile back laid out the different caloric intake of foods and drinks and the required energy output to balance their input, but we recently ran across this blog entry over at World of Mysteries that evaluated and named what they think are the 20 most harmful drinks in the US.

Astrojavanation

It’s that time again: Espresscopes! March’s crop of cosmically-infused advice on all things coffee related are up over at Brown Bean. What’s going on this month?

Hot Blog on Blog Action: God Shot

One of the things we love most about coffee is all the different perspectives folks can have on it — and, like anything that can engage some level of connoisseurship, those that enjoy it range from Folgers enthusiasts to those who love to analyze all the elements that go into a great cup.
