Coca Cola owns my school

...so I may begin to rebel against what was essentially mother's milk for much of the first part of my life. Most positive memories I have of my childhood are tied to the memory of that sweet, sweet combination of corn syrup, carbonated water, caramel color, and the blood of union leaders.

But now, seeing that Coke is written on the side of every building, incorporated into every school event, and actually, paying my stipend by way of a former CEO donating all of the money to start the foundation that I work for, I feel increasingly compelled to rage against the Coke-stablishment.

Some reasons:

1/ That shit is really bad for you.

2/ Not only are the nice memories tied to coke-sumption, but so are the massive fucking holes in my molars.

3/ The weirdness of the oncampus coke-emon. Seriously, you won't find the Pepsi logo anywhere, unless you look at the no food and drink signs outside of computer labs, where they have the big X-out of soda, which happens to be a Pepsi. No man, I don't trust that at all.

Regarding the food blog, I've run into a bit of trouble, given my computer's intermittent death/revival/amnesia, I've lost the word document with this week of foods. I'm going to try to reconstruct it, but I can't be totally sure of its accuracy, starting Tuesday.

When I think of Coke I think of the demonstration by some hippies in Wiley Hall - they lay upon the floor (laid?) and pretended to be dead, with pieces of paper scattered around telling about the murder of union leaders in South American countries. I was moved but my companion surprised me with her disbelief - "They don't gain by killing union leaders, there's no way Coke actually does that."

Um, actually, they gain a lot by their workers remaining unorganized and unable to demand fair treatment and wages, but, you know...

I miss you!
