A guy at work read somewhere of the benefits of drinking water throughout the day. He has really bought into this notion of
"hydration". He has purchased for himself a big plastic bottle with a built-in straw that he now carries with him everywhere he goes. In every meeting that I sit through with him in attendance, he makes a big production of sucking down vast quantities of water from his bottle. If he passes you by in the hallway, he will bend your ear on hydration. Hydration, hydration, hydration. He had never heard of this before, and now he acts like he is the prophet of all things involving with sucking water all day long. He acts as if you don't drink water like he does, then you are not only hacking years off your existence, but you are likely a complete cretin.
It turns out that many folks behave just like my co-worker whenever they latch onto the latest craze. Today it is this hydration kick, tomorrow it will be whatever the next thing is that comes down the road. How about folks tone it down until they have at least a bit more experience and today's fad has worked its way into something a bit more solid and understood?

Seems like we are a generation of faddish people. how else do you explain Zumba, Sweating to the Oldies, and all the other junk we add to our daily iives over time. The sippy cup will soon go the way of the hula hoop and dodo bird.
actually drinking water helped me lose a bit of weight....much better than the soda....but i wont prothelatize...smiles...but you are right on how people hook on to the craze and let it take them away....
Zumba? Isn't that the automatic vacuum cleaner? I have to get me one!
I have no trouble being taken away, just as long as they don't try to drag me along with them.
I'm trying to start a fad where everyone buys me pizza. All the food groups in one item - it's perfect!
Wait a second! So you are telling me that I shouldn't buy a Shake Weight?
I just called in the order, you should have it in 30 minutes (or less). So, go stand by the curb and wait, cheesy goodness is coming your way.
South Park did a show on this. Gross and amusing at the same time. As you probably have never seen South Park, yeah, go ahead and buy one. It will change your life.
