Guess You Should Have Had a Diet Coke

Diet Coke Plus includes 10% of one vitamin, and 15% of 2 others. Screw broccoli. Finally, a real alternative to eating fruits and vegetables. OK, I admit, I tried it and I liked it. But I’ve felt kindof dirty ever since.

I eat actual friuts and vegetables, have been totally veggie for over a year and I’m thinking about giving veganism a try. I get plenty of vitamins, is what I’m saying. I’m sure all of the negatives of consuming the Diet Coke outweigh the tiny amount of benefit from extra Niacin, B12 and zinc. So, why did I immediately go “OOOH, I should buy that!” when I saw it at the 7-11 the other day? Maybe my husband’s love of all things labeled “new” is contagious?
