I added an app called HealthyBot to my life and HealthyBot had moments. But then I woke to the coffee post.
HealthyBot wanted me to ramp up the healthiness of my morning coffee, clearly a problematic area and often a wasted opportunity. I’m sure the sugar content in many morning coffee cups matches that of a giant Butterfinger bar, and the cream may carry that cup up to Butterfinger fat levels. So attacking coffee makes sense. But then the Bot suggested I add butter and coconut oil to my morning coffee. Specifically, I was supposed to add GRASS-FED butter. I believe my app must be run by cybernetic organisms. Or maybe vacuum cleaners.
But this example probably explains why I am listening to very few alleged authorities nowadays. The formerly-evil coconut seems to have hired a great PR team. I’m happy for the coconut. But I am just so done listening to these fools. Let the vacuum cleaner drink that coffee.
I will eat and drink what I want, sticking to a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and other foods in reasonable quantities.
P.S. In fairness, HealthyBot has useful advice — interspersed with moments when they decide to jump off the cliff.
P.S.S. To any teachers out there, if this fits your curriculum, please feel free to use my post for discussion.
