Apparently, this is the 21st anniversary of being named something/something by a group that lists colleges that have a reputation for being "stone cold sober". Can you believe that? (said in a sarcastic voice)

Here's the lame quote from the article, then I will add my own version of mormon thinking.

Wright knows that BYU’s culture and love of milk can come off as quirky, but that it’s embracing it and seeing it as a unique badge of honor.

“It’s just like, I can have fun, I can be a kid,” he said.

I think that statement sums up the entire authoritarian premise of the church. Members need to be and act like children, they're not smart enough to think for themselves.

I recall sitting in a terrible missionary meeting and the topic of how to increase [our] missionary teaching family pool. And the no brain idea was for our zone to set up a root beer float stand. And while we are serving up free root beer floats, we teach a first discussion and slip the unsuspecting person a book of mormon. It was a really bad idea that lacked sophistication and tact, and I was still believing. All I kept thinking was who's going to pay for all the ice cream, soda and cups etc.

“In animals, it is actually more addictive than even cocaine, so sugar is pretty much probably the most consumed addictive substance around the world and it is wreaking havoc on our health,” cardiovascular researcher, James DiNicolantonio, a coauthor of the study, told the Guardian.
