Everyone is always dissing Starbucks... but where in the corporate world can you go to purchase a cup of coffee in a recycable cup that is FAIR TRADE coffee not harvested by little kids and organic so the harvesters are not sprayed with herbacides and pesticides and you can actually purchase and consume foods that are made with whole food ingredients.
I have found their coffee to be on par as per cost as Dunkin Donuts which is not free trade or organic by any stretch of the imagination. Yet the cost is nearly the same as Starbucks and served in a non-recyclable disposable cup made from sterofoam and if you eat the food chances are it is laden with human hair from china (got love the execution trade) and cornsyrup and a whole host of diet diatrabe baddies.
So, if I am going to have a coffee to go while I am out and about it will be Starbucks or I will do without.
