If outrageous prices alone don’t stop you from guzzling any of the aforementioned drinks, maybe reading up on the calorie counts of these liquids will convince you to stick to what Mother Nature is serving up: good old H2O.

Trying to prevent global warming, and trying to make the environment a better place, means that everyone must collectively and consciously try at all times… but when a bigger, more visible issue threatens our Canadian ecosystem, we do take notice.

I’ll probably never know if the floppy, shiny, sponge-like substance was egg, tofu, cheese, or something else entirely, but I am sure of one thing: it certainly wasn’t edible, yet a Première Moisson employee handed it to me last Monday morning and took my five dollars in return.
