I find the recent interest in caffeine hilarious. I've never been a fan of any cola drink, don't "do the dew" too often, and try to avoid soda in general. I've never cared what others are drinking for dinner. But found it hard to stomach when I've heard someone explain to others that the reason members of the LDS church don't drink coffee or tea is because they are caffeinated. REALLY??? So why exactly is chocolate or other caffeine containing foods fit for consumption. I do have to say, those that are drinking enough caffeinated soft drinks so as to create an addiction should seriously consider what all that SUGAR is doing to their system.

The best explanation that I can come up with is that caffeine was a convenient scapegoat for an otherwise lengthy discussion when confronted about coffee or tea.

I'd still like an explanation about "barley drinks" that are mentioned in the D&C.

As one positive, the NBC special made the Church "clarify" its stance on caffeine by restating what its said about it for almost a decade now. But to some people that was evidently breaking news--a good way to tell which of your Facebook friends never bothered to study the Church caffeine policy.

If NBC wanted to inform people about what Mormons are in America they should have done an interview with Harry Ried, the most prominent American Mormon right now.

lol. I would have loved to have all kinds of great Democrat Harry Reid comments on Mormonism on file to counter incoming religious attack ads.
I agree with the Harry Reid is one of my least favorite politicians.

I didn't see it. But if you do a news story, you get two sides. the love it group, and the critics. You show both sides.

So does Ms. Huntsman qualify as a critic? or just an odd interview choice?

Except this isn't "news", more op Ed or infomercial. If it was meant as a news story you want all angles. if you want to inform and educate you should get the most credible/knowledgable sources available. Huntsman was an odd choice because she was far from an expert on Mormonism, nor was she anti-Mormon. If NBC wanted to inform people about what Mormons are in America they should have done an interview with Harry Ried, the most prominent American Mormon right now. Only problem with doing that is it takes away the democrats' ability to paint Mormonism as strange and far from normal American life. It would immediately cease to be a campaign issue this year.
