Ready to indulge this holiday weekend? For this Week in Review, we’ve featured our exploration into treats that are better for you, and better for the planet.

At the risk of echoing a cartoon bird's cereal endorsement, we must admit our genuine surprise at just how many people are “cuckoo for coconuts." Marisa Lowentstein finds out that Zico, a young coconut drink, is apparently the best thing since water (and ten times more hydrating, one source claims). Not only have enthusiasts turned each other on to the possibility of Zicotini's, they've turned us on to the fact that some people are willing go to extraordinary lengths to make getting drunk healthier. To those people, we say: post the recipe, it's a holiday weekend.

We will also be stocking up with Fat Tire beer, thanks to Hillary Rosner's interview with Colorado's New Belgium Brewing Company. Not only is the business dedicated to energy efficiency and social responsibility, the brewery is powered by wind energy and uses sustainable technologies, giving us all the more reason to revise our views on being three sheets to the wind.

For those who prefer desserts to drinks, get ready for goat's milk ice-cream. Paul Friebott discovers Laloo's Goat's Milk ice cream not only comes in gourmand flavors (Strawberry Balsamic, anyone?), it warms the heart and cools the gullet of ice-cream-loving-lactose-intolerants everywhere.

While Jeremy Lehrer originally shunned the idea of wearing specially made yoga garb, his run in with Kalandanda's new line of tees and shorts has repositioned him on the issue. How can you argue with a company who donates a portion of their profits to the Asian Classics Input Project and gives their employees a paid month off for spiritual retreat? Furthermore, how do you get hired by them?

Though we hope it lasts as long as possible, all holidays do eventually come to a close. David Sokol maintains that schlepping to work might be made slightly more bearable with Monacca’s wooden briefcase, which uses what would have been wasted cedar to help sustain industry in Umazi, Japan, where jobs and population were declining due to outsourcing and urbanization.

Last but never least, Josh Jackson takes on George Bush, David Mathews, and the damn unlucky governor of Kentucky in this week’s Green Room.
