I’m Indigenous Canadian and I’ve been drinking tea from the time I was a baby … I remember my mom mixing a batch of tea, canned milk and sugar in a baby bottle from my younger brothers and I assume that she probably did the same for me. For as long as I can remember, we drank tea every single freakin day of my life … and I still do!
All because of some damned money grubbing English men figured out a way to transport tons of tea all over the planet
You’ve been consuming caffeinated drinks from the time you were a baby? I know that tea isn’t that bad if you let it steep long enough, which most people do, but also, literal baby? That’s kinda fucked up.
I know! … You don’t have much a choice when your parents who lived a nomadic lifestyle in the wilderness don’t understand that modern tea from the tropics is actually a highly drugged drink that isn’t good for a baby! We’re Indigenous Canadian and mom and the people from her generation didn’t understand the effects of doing this to infants … they just knew it was a nourishing magical drink.

Have you noticed any negative effects? I feel like over in Europe, coffee and tea consumption among children is higher than it is here in Canada, but I don’t hear about significant negative effects.
I’m pretty sure mom fed me tea as a baby regularly … because I saw her do the same to my younger brothers. And I drank tea from as far back as I can remember. And we brewed it strong too! We had a metal camp style pot that held about 2 litres of liquid, mom would get water boiling and then throw in about 10 tea bags and let it boil for a minute until it literally looked like coffee. I drank that kind of tea for the first 20 years of my life. After that I drank less tea and more coffee.
As far as I can tell, I’m pretty normal … but then again … what the hell is normal? I might be totally nuts and not know it.
Also, for all I know, it might have cut my life short too and I’ll end up with a heart attack or stroke earlier in life than later.
Cause and effect are reversed there! They were turned INTO money-grubbing businessmen in a desperate bid to fuel their tea addiction! The fault is the TEA!
Tea domesticated the English, like fungus puppeting ants, and we have all been paying for it since 😔

Caffeine is one hell of a drug!

You can say the same about Opium, Heroin and Cocaine … and Alcohol for that matter
Hey! … but at least we gave you guys Tobacco!
Gonna need that opium to distract myself from the effects of a society that deals in opium
