I have a lot of people tell me that they cannot tolerate the taste of plain water.

My diet was pretty shitty growing up, but one thing my parents did right was that we drank ice water.....only at meals.

Soda was a special treat. Usually once a week my Dad would go get Chinese Food or Pizza for us so my mom wouldn't have to cook. He would get 1 quart of cola ( the biggest bottle at the time ) that would be split between the 4 of us.
We would each get one tall glass.

I now see people walking out of stores with one quart cups of soda, just for themselves. I've heard the stories about kids growing up on drinks instead of water so I guess that is why they don't like the taste of clean ice water, particularly if they are prediabetic......as many are.
