A growing contingent of people says caffeine is just as potentially addictive and dangerous as other psychoactive chemicals, and that it's time we start thinking about and regulating it as such.

I write about the anti-caffeine movement for @esquire: esquire.com/lifestyle/heal…

@esquire I interviewed @michaelpollan, the undisputed 🐐🐐🐐 of food writing, for this piece and he did not disappoint.

The article also features a 🔥🔥🔥 tweet from @shareenpathak.

Shout out to the @esquire art team for making this excellent infographic about different caffeinated beverages and the amount of caffeine they contain.

I also spoke with @NikkiGlaser who waxed poetic on how coffee is a cultural signifier, conferring a sense of importance and sophistication.

He's just like me fr.
