Yerba Mate tea…

We are trying to make big changes to what we eat and drink in our home. For a long time most of our meals consisted of whatever was the quickest and easiest thing to get on the table. It has become clear over time that this has not been the best thing for teaching our children about making healthy food choices. We have been, for the last several months, trying to make everything we eat from scratch. The children took a little while to adjust to things like homemade bread and applesauce but they now seem to prefer this to store bought. I have to admit that I feel better and like know what I am eating. I do however have trouble with completely giving up soda and instead drinking green tea or yerba mate tea. My wife swears that these teas will make me feel better but I don’t see a difference. What I really want is big diet cola or a cup of coffee and not the herbal and organic concoction that is sitting in front of me right now. I believe a man can only bend so far and I am thinking that herbal tea just might be my breaking point.
