Why do people act like coffee in the morning is such a sacred routine but soda in the morning [basically the same drink] is lowbrow and unhealthy?

like, it's caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it's no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized

the whole sort of basically woo stuff about oh there's antioxidants there which give you a 3% lower risk of skin cancer after the age of 65 like come on that doesn't count

Because people aren’t pouring 30-40 grams of sugar into their coffee. Also artificial sweeteners taste like shit and haven’t been proven to not cause other health issues.

Drink water.

Your reasoning is on level with religious people claiming that atheists have to prove that god doesn't exist.

How do you prove that you are not a murderer?

Corn syrup and chemicals but I’m not sure why people are downvoting your reasonable question

I downvoted because this doesn't feel like a casual conversation, more like trying to start an argument.

Thank you. I thought I lost my craving for pizza but I just got it back!

People will try to tell you to add meat too, but nah, not on this one. Enjoy!

I was going to add meat but I just love meat.
