So...government health warnings now come to us up close & personal.

I suppose the next time I order a Big Mac & fries the receipt will read “Enjoy your heart attack on a plate, FATSO!”

I wouldn’t want to consume anything that a nut like that handled.

No, not my business. Just because my taxes will be paying for the treatment of diabetes for some fat slob doesn’t make it my business. And no. I don’t support laws against unhealthy drinks and food.

That was rude, not at all funny. Probably written by someone with sleeve tattoos, purple hair, two jeweled nose rings, and those large flat buttons in each ear lobe. “But don’t judge me! Don’t you ever!”

““That first word just automatically brought the picture of both sisters in my head,” said the Starbucks customer.
He said the diabetes statement hits close to home because his two sisters suffer from type 1 diabetes.”

Pussy, man up. And also quit gaying up your coffee.

Haha....someone wanted to get fired. Ever seen the ingredients in that drink? Truth hurts...but the Starbucks ee is not supposed to give medical advice.”

Health and medical advice is reserved for Moochie O doncha know.

I don't because my wallet is so insulted by Starbucks’ prices. And what my wallet says goes!

a message on their cup disparaging their hair weave?

I don't think ingesting half a pound of sugar would have any impact on their hair-do.

There is a diabetes epidemic, Americans are fatter than ever and they are addicted to sugar....

Some huge coincidence huh.

That’s probably a thousand calorie drink. At Starbucks. They deserve to be insulted.

So, you are also one of those folks who blame McDonalds and other fast food joints who offer high calorie meals?

If people want the 1000 calorie drinks, how is that Starbucks’ fault?

Maybe you forgot the sarc tag?

"Just because my taxes will be paying for the treatment of diabetes for some fat slob doesn’t make it my business."

You're just chock-full of assumptions about this guy - fat, diabetic, slovenly and no health insurance.

If you order the double tofu soy latte, you might get congratulated. That’s if you stop throwing up long enough to hear it ;)

If my sisters had the diabetes, I might scale back on the Starbucks orders. Just a thought.”

Yes, people I know that have diabetes in their family seem to watch their carb count for most of their lives.

I’d have returned it and asked for a new cup - from the manager.
