Is coffee an addiction?

ok, here i am doing my vegan thang and eating meat maybe once a week. my blood sugars are doing great, i'm feeling good. however i had a hypoglycemic attack last nite while i was teaching a class. why? because i drank coffee. a full, rich, yummy cup of espresso that gets your blood sugars all messed up. i've never done drugs but i have a feeling i have a better understanding of why people take drugs in spite of them knowing it will mess them up in the long run. i know coffee is poison for me yet i choose to drink it and have a hypoglycemic attack. i've committed yet another "vegan sin".

so now, let's get to the good part. i'm incorporating more veggies into my diet so i have a bunch of fun salads that i wanna share with you. mamma over here loves corn. so here's a great corn salad:
