Because not all fruits can be made into juice without them tasting like crap.

Take Melon or Papaya, for instance.

The Anarchist Cookbook is not illegal to own per se.

It's quite illegal to do any of the things in the book and use them as prank on people.

Not to mention that trying to do any of the things in the book is quite likely to result in missing fingers or death.

See, I prefer water that just tastes like water. My parents-in-law have well water on their farm and it is the tastiest water ever. The wife and I have a reverse osmosis deal in our kitchen, but for some reason it hits my stomach like a brick. Luckily the tap water here isn't too bad.


Yea, I've gotten used to the tap water here.

It's better tasting than the tap water where I come from where it comes out of copper/iron plumbering.

Because even if it is 100% juice, it's not very good for you. Natural sugars are still sugars, after all.

Everything has sugar in it. Mostly because almost everything gets transformed into glucose, and the brain is a sugar hogger.

All water. A filter makes it bearable but not by much. Drinking more than a glass an hour makes me feel sick to my stomach.


You're nuts, I can drink water like its well, water. I can down the whole glass in one drink. Nothing tastes better than a big glass of cold water.

Sometimes.

I don't drink pure water all the time, I do drink it often enough though.

In the U.S. only if you do something that's in the book by the book.

I've owned a digital copy before. Doesn't mean I'm crazy enough to try and do any of the things in it.

Well duh, but fruit juices still have a lot of sugar with generally little other nutrition. My philosophy with juice is thus: If I have a craving for fruit juice, why not just eat the damn fruit? That way I get the tasty sugars, fiber, and whatever other nutrients my chosen fruit has in it.

Just because your boss tells you something doesn't mean you have to do it. My boss has told me, and everyone else I work with for that matter, that there's no smoking on job sites, or in company vans, and that you can only smoke on your breaks, and that there's no leaving on your break. Guess how many people listen.
