As glamorous as the hot-tub life seems, they require a lot of maintenance and attention such as testing and balancing the water chemistry regularly, cleaning the filter, running the pump, removing debris, shocking it to kill bacteria, preforming a drain and refill every now and then, etc…
You can probably apply the “well in Africa…” argument to every one of the articles on this site. I wanted to rebuttal with points on the problems of water being a trans-boundary resource and under-investment in water facilities as well as provide basic solutions like privatization, funding for wells and purifying existing resources but I don’t have the energy on this Thursday afternoon.
I do agree with the other commenters though, Dasani and Aquafina is just municipal water that’s been filtered with added trace amounts of minerals. For my #1 I’m going Smartwater since it’s been distilled and remineralized with calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium bicarbonate and contains no fluoride. I love my pineal gland.
“Question that’s been nagging me: You said you don’t normally drink casually but that you have several huge nights a year. How does eliminating say, at most 6 nights a year, help your calorie count in the long run?” – RicoRumRunner

I’m honestly surprised people still believe in the whole “calories in vs. calories out” thing that is based on the idea that all calories are created equal, no matter what foods they come from. Even though it is true that obesity is caused by excess calories and weight loss caused by a calorie deficit, this is still such a drastic oversimplification that it is downright wrong.The fact is that different foods can have vastly different effects on our bodies and go through different metabolic pathways before they’re turned into energy. Just focusing on the calorie content of foods and disregarding the metabolic effects they have is a highly flawed way of thinking.
Do you really think it’s that easy to unconsciously overeat healthy food though? While many of the calories in almonds come from fat, it is primarily the healthy unsaturated fats and not the unhealthy saturated kind. Almonds are as close to perfect as a food can get since they contain lots of healthy fats, fiber, protein, magnesium and vitamin E.
Counting calories is one of the worst strategies you can use when you want to lose weight. Your body doesn’t treat all calories the same way and if you starve yourself, your body slows down your metabolism and burns muscle rather than fat. When you eat healthy foods, you don’t have to count calories.
I think this series could have a spin-off series of just a Chronicles of Todd if they were to breakup. Of course there could be plenty of content to come if were they were to get engaged as well.
I like my coffee cruelty free, free trade, all organic, picked by the moonlight, Guatemalan coffee that has a berry compote and ends with a lavender finish, made with distilled water.

That was a genuine question though.

Even if you don’t agree with his actions or opinions all of Duda’s articles are very well written
