Coke isn't the only thing that had a recipe change. I used to love Cream of Tomato soup – one of those comfort foods I grew up with. The last time I had some, I noticed it tasted very different. Sure enough, the first item listed in the ingredients was high-fructose corn syrup. I couldn't believe it! I know they changed their recipe because I had an older can stuck way back in the pantry. The first ingredient on that can was tomato. It's been years since I've had tomato soup from a can.

I've pretty much given up all soft drinks – even the diet ones. Those things are very expensive when you eat out these days. $3 for a coke and no refill? Plus, the sweetener (artificial) in diet drinks are actually an appetite stimulate.

I still cook with butter. I gotta have at least one vice.
