Here’s something to ponder…that you already know…but is worth saying anyway.
Just because nobody is stopping you from doing something, or even if you are being actively encouraged, that doesn’t mean it is in your best interest.
The picture above is the refrigerator where I often work in LA. The company goes out of its way to take care of us. I applaud the sentiment and the desire to show us that we are valued employees. Feeling valued on the job makes life so much better.
The free drink selection is meant to be a job perk but I can’t shake the feeling that this perk could be a lawsuit in the future.
There are mountains of evidence that sugary drinks aren’t doing our health any good. The same goes for the artificially sweetened ones. Despite this, the popularity and consumption of them is holding steady.
Is this a case, like cigarettes, where despite the mounting evidence, we don’t change course and if we reap the health-wrecking results we cry foul and turn to the courts seeking justice?
Am I just paranoid?
Happy Pondering.
