MLK & RPE Both Have Dreams

Not to bastardize the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., but . . . 

"I have a dream that everyone reading this will abstain from processed and packaged foods, sodas, sports drinks and white rice today."

While I'm at it . . . 

"I have a dream that everyone reading this will eat at least one organic fruit or vegetable today."

I think I'll leave it at that. Enjoy the day.

Thanks for the dream, with which I agree. May I submit a downer.. er.. education opportunity on such a day? Today I received a coupon for a new product called "Dole Fruit Smoothie Shakers Fruit and Yogurt Kit." "Just add juice and shake. Bye bye blender." Did not see an ingredient list, but my question is: What in heaven's name are you adding the juice to?
