9. The products are not natural.

High fructose corn syrup, caffeine, aspartame, artificial colors. Diet or regular cancer please.

I remember back in the late 60's when the American Cancer Society told me tobacco products were bad for me. Yet America continues to smoke. The list of process foods not good for the human body grew and grew. Periodic table on a cereal box. I do realize that Coca-Cola is all about the corporate profits, the info about their greed and toxins has been out there for years. I don't understand why people don't wake up to the facts. I do object to Bloombugger (anyone) sticking their nose in anyone else's business and mandating anything.

Brew your own brother.

Tea isn't supposed to be bitter. Neoma Jul 2012 #13
How would it be described? Remmah2 Jul 2012 #14
The bitter taste is due to burning the tea leaves, as the water can be too hot. Neoma Jul 2012 #15
