The Liberal War Against Coffee

Recently I posted a brief commentary on Arwa Mahdawi's article, "Iced coffee is ruining the environment and your body".  As it turns out the Brits conducted a study on a half million people, and can you guess the result?  It's good for you! That's right!  Fresh grounds for coffee: Study show it may boost longevity.  

Of course, Mahdawi's article was posted to The Guardian, so what can you expect from a lopsided, liberal publication? They are not concerned about facts, or even care what other studies have to say. It's one thing to have an opinion or to write an editorial, but it's quite another to make argument seem like fact with nothing to back it up. It's just mere opinion and nothing more.

So big deal, right? Why waste time talking about it? People will enjoy their coffee no matter what. My problem is the "save the planet people" have inculcated their doctrine in almost everything we read. For example, instead of reporting about our wonderful planet and its crazy little critters, the National Geographic in nearly every article has to throw in about how "climate change" is destroying everything.

It's same the everywhere whether it's Popular Mechanics, Time Magazine, Better Homes, People, or Reader's Digest. The News outlets are even worse. The problem is you might think because so many publications seem to be on board that most people around the world believe this garbage. I'm waiting for the day when they try to convince us how global warming is warping outer space, or creating a black hole which will eventually suck our entire planet into oblivion.

So here's the moral of the story. Don't worry about the planet, the planet will take care of itself. You have enough problems for the day -- so eat, drink your coffee, and be happy.
