Worker 11811 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Read this article from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_and_burn Then read this article: http ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee Thus, you can see why I wish Starbuck's would disappear from the face of the earth, totally! Places like Starbucks which increase the demand for coffee encourage more and more farmers to cut down trees and burn the brush to plant coffee. You've got supposed "environmentalists" who stand around whining about the destruction of natural habitats and decrying the use of animals for their fur, all the while they kill MORE animals with that one cup of coffee that it takes to make 1,000 fur coats! Fur lovers should be coffee haters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) The first and main reason I never buy or drink Starbuck's coffee it it tastes AWFUL They started at the Pike Place Market in Seattle at the same time I got to Seattle. It's over roasted and tasted awful then. and it's gotten worse if anything. After my first cup there I went several blocks down the street to a small place that I still buy from to this day. I "check in" to Starbuck's every now and then on the off chance someone aquired taste buds but apparently not. Where I buy in the City of Coffee are places that are shade tree, organic and smaller operator sources. They generaly have better beans anyway. Follow your taste buds and It'll probably be a good farmers coffee anyway. OFF Edited March 21, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 As I have said many times the "free trade" is just a cover for global industry exploitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
