Beautiful Existence eats only Starbucks for a year
Daily Telegraph ^ | January 2, 2014

Posted on 01/02/2014 10:18:40 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

A US woman is claiming victory after eating food from Starbucks every single day last year.

But unlike Morgan Spurlock who ate McDonald's every day for a month to see the health effects of the diet, or Jared Fogle who ate Subway every day in order to slim down, the reason for Beautiful Existence's (yes, it is her real legal name) Starbucks diet is not clear.

"WHY? am I doing this challenge? Or WHY? will I do any challenge in the future? Because I LOVE being human and I LOVE the privilege of being able to ask the question WHY? in the first place!" she wrote on her blog.

It seems Fogle and Spurlock may have inspired her however.

"So how can eating only one company’s products impact me, anybody? Well Mr. McDonald’s already proved that question years ago with his documentary and Mr. Subway did his take on the loosing weight portion of the food challenges too," she wrote. "But when I watched those guys doing their thing I asked myself “where are the WOMEN challenging themselves in the world?” “Where are the effects being shown on a woman’s culture?”

Ms Existence's only rule was that she must eat food sold at Starbucks or from a "Starbucks-inspired" store or brand such as Roy Street Coffee, Tazo Tea and Evolution Fresh.

Beautiful Existence eats only Starbucks for a year

After paying Fourbucks prices for food for a year, Beautiful Existence has now changed her name to Penniless Subsistence.

Some of the food is overpriced for what you get, but I do like their coffee. I just came from Starbucks, and am finishing my coffee right now. I got a large travel tumbler for $30—I needed a new travel mug anyway—and for the 31 days of January, I can get it filled every day at no extra cost. So actually, that’s a bargain.

Bless her heart. The gift of intelligence. She is not burdened by it.

Somebody actually brought one of those reusable mugs back into Starbucks and claimed there were germs in it.

Talk about a bloated ego. Every time somebody address her “Hey, Beautiful! ......”

And those enablers who agree to her name change, either they are too ignorant to be in the position they held or they secretly pity the woman.

Maybe not an Obastard one, but I’d bet money she has some kind of tat on her rump.

Morgan Spurlock's "Supersize Me" was debunked over eight years ago.

Because I LOVE being human and I LOVE the privilege of being able to ask the question WHY? in the first place!

"And because I am a moonbat living in Rainbow Fruitworld where the unicorns all drop candy pies and farts smell like a lilac bower. All the furry woodland creatures hold hands and sing Pete Seeger songs in four-part harmony. Happy gnomes deliver sunbeams wrapped in organic kelp and dolphins swim around the tidal pool, whistling merry tunes and making the water bubble like a hot tub.

This happens frequently when I stop taking my medication ..."
