Yuppies Arise And Fight—You Have Only Your Caffeine High To Lose!!
Starbucks, of all enterprises, is the latest victim of food fascists. It is ironic that the Center for Science in the Public Interest is attacking the politically-correct, rainforest-friendly, self-styled socially responsible Seattle-based corporation for clogging the arteries of Americans.
Center for Science in the Public Interest… are bent on stopping us from being unhealthy—by their definition—no matter what.
...[The] Center recently filed suit against Kentucky Fried Chicken to stop it from frying chicken in high-fat oil. (...Kentucky Steamed Tofu [anyone?]) ...
They sought to ban olestra—a fat substitute!—from potato chips because it gives some individuals slight digestive problems.
...These guys aren’t just interested in educating us. They’re interested in controlling us, not just taking our coffee and cakes but our freedom. They are part of the degeneration of our civil social order: pretentious paternalist prudes who believe they have a right to run our lives and that we have a duty to obey.
NB: Starbucks already publishes that info on a leaflet right next to the straws and Cinnamon.
