...you’re going to go to John Harvard’s for a brew, researchers suggest that making the trip several times a week could be healthier than limiting yourself to a few times a month...
...crowd is young, hip and thirsty. But there is plenty of cold beer around and the spirits are, um, high, especially when the word gets out that the brew is made with hemp - marijuana's non- psychoactive cousin.

Regular Fair Trade purchases and suggestion box comments will do the trick, because rather than a movement of noise-making, this is a movement of expressing consumer interest—the companies are there, after all, to meet consumer needs...
