Earlier this week, Dietitians of Canada and the Canadian Paediatric Society released a joint statement advising parents to go easy on feeding babies and young children plant-based beverages such as almond, cashew and rice "milks." Relying on non-dairy beverages can shortchange infants and kids much-needed nutrients, the organizations warned, and, in so doing, can rob them of their full growth potential. Instead, cow's milk (or a fortified soy beverage) should be the main beverage given to kids ages two through eight.

Between high-modernist cocktail techniques, buggy beers, fast-aging cheater spirits and a thriving campaign for the return of pre-modern, fresh and natural wine, we are certainly living in an age of extremes. It may seem like the drinks industry is heading madly off in all directions. In fact, the trends can be roughly divided into two basic philosophies — those who oppose intervention and those who can't stop tweaking.
