Light beer, light wine, smoooth whiskey ("lightened" from 86 to 80 proof),
light bread, light salad dressing, artificially-sweetened caffeine-free
light cola...a little bit "light" on clear thinking, I'd say.

We put sugar in the things that don't need it and take it out of the things
that do.  As soon as any significant part of the population starts to
understand a real taste, the race is on for the market for the artificial
version.  Of course, the only two tastes universally understood are sugar
and salt - and boy do we have plenty of them!  It's a surrogate society (he
wrote, banging away at his terminal, glad that he could express himself
without confronting anyone face-to-face).

I'm going home, and I'm gonna have several real (heavy) beers that have
some taste.  I'm gonna have a pizza with lots of everything on it.  And I'm
not gonna worry about caffeine/sugar/starch/fats/nitrosamines/alcohol
intake.

Hey, yer right, that did feel good!
