Thank you!
I’ll bet you could bounce a quarter across the room off that bubble butt.
I worked at a site and met the owner of this company - he is developing the wasted outer shell of the coffee bean (thrown out now) and milling it to make “coffee flour”. The stuff he offered me was delicous.

Belliveau: Every year billions of pounds of coffee cherry fruit, a by-product of green coffee production, are discarded or, to a lesser degree, composted into fertilizer. Rather than leave these cherries to rot in heaps or be dumped into rivers, CoffeeFlour uses a proprietary method to convert the cherry pulp into a nutrient-dense ingredient that can be used for baking, cooking, mixing drinks, and crafting chocolate. This is how CoffeeFlour is made.
The result is an incredibly nutritious and distinctly flavorful cooking ingredient, with more fiber per gram than whole grain wheat flour, more protein per gram than fresh kale, more potassium per gram than a banana, and more iron per gram than fresh spinach.
CoffeeFlour makes the most of a food source that we already have and are not using to its fullest potential.
Very cool.
And while I wouldn’t wear a shirt made out of plastic (that would be unbreathable polyester) crab sounds very interesting.
Bravo for this entrepreneur.
Looks like NYC....

Huh....thanks for the heads up. Using Android Chrome on FR preview the image showed resized as my html code spec’d. Odd that it didn’t show. Chrome much slower than Firefox on my phone.6
There are some images that just plain won’t show on any computer that doesn’t have them in the cache from looking them up.
They’ll look just fine in preview, but won’t display on other computers.
Don’t know why...
Life is so unfair.
The proliferation of yoga pants did not happen until I reached my late 60’s.
Oh, well. At least I have perfect vision with the advent of second sight.
Unless I am mistaken this story is about a woman who simply decided to make her clothing line out of “sustainable” fabric. She did not invent the fabric, she just selected one from of a number of commercially available choices. Is that really newsworthy?
Anything that progresses The Agenda is newsworthy, Citizen.
We had a coffee tree for a while, the cherries are tasty.
“Besides in jcoco’s arabica cherry chocolate bar, CoffeeFlour is now available to consumers via Marx Pantry.”
Note the name of the store.
Just sayin’...
Seeing as it is Seattle I figured it very well could have been named after the commie. But - I looked around. The CEO was born in 1977, graduated Magna Cum Laude in business, then law school, and now is Fifth generation of his family in the food business - starting this online gourmet food company.
But yeah, I’m guessing his last name of Marx did add to some of the draw.
FWIW the pic showed for me and I’ve never seen it before. Running Firefox.
Exactly right.
Perhaps our settings are different? I’m also running Firefox.
That could be. I’m not good with that stuff. I have seen that before, where a pic will show after going directly to the URL and then back, and sometimes I can see the pic at the URL and it still doesn’t show on the FR page.
It’s a mystery! Like ancient aliens. ;-)
