This is out of control

People don't have to go to Starbucks. That having been said, I have no problems with making them give disclosures about content and fat so people can make an informed decision.

[RepoGirl]

They can have my brownie bites and Vente Cafe Americano (with whole milk and one Equal) when they pry them from my cold dead hands.

After my big KFC dinner, I'll work off the calories by using a "Big F---ing Louisville Slugger" on a few of the Science in the Public Interest A-holes.

Don't they know that it is detrimental to their health to attempt to deny the public their KFC!!!!

IT'S CALLED FREEDOM OF CHOICE!

No one is forcing anyone to eat, drink, and be merry!

[SaveTheChief]

Is it me or is there a serious deficiency of common sense and responsibility these days?

I guess when we have lawyers and the government to look after us, we don't need to worry about such things anymore.

The union contends that Starbucks staff gain weight when they work at the chain. They are offered unlimited beverages and leftover pastries for free during their shifts.

I didn't know that. Good for Starbucks.

I'm surprised they didn't call it "Heart attack in a cup."

[GatorGirl]

The food Nazis go berzerk!

Although there is kind of a poetic justice about the liberal Starbucks being attacked by their own kind.

I would rather pay $2.10 (incl.tax) for my Great One with Cream and Splenda from good ol' Dunkin Donuts than $5.00+ for anything from Starbuck's anyhow!

This an offshoot of two of Ralph Nader's communist disciples. Here's the skinny: http://www.activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/oid/13

[JohnLongIsland]

even one of the most left leaning corporations in this country is not immune from the socialist element that they befriended all these years.

[Fintan]

IT'S CALLED FREEDOM OF CHOICE!

 

Not in a socialist, nanny state, it's not.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

All of this will come to pass if Democrats regain control of Congress this year.

[Tall_Texan]

Somebody needs to get the stones to countersue these quacks. Where are they getting the money to file lawsuits all over the place?

[sgtbono2002]

How many calories I put into my body is no more business of anyone else than whether or not I wear a seat belt.

[oceanview]

I am for disclosure, I want to know what I am eating. if Starbucks would post what is in that banana drink on a chart in the store, no one would buy it.

[oceanview]

ths issue is, how are you supposed to know if its not disclosed.

[conservative physics]

here's an idea you enviro weenies...

if you like someones food or think it is unhealthy.... DON'T EAT THERE !

But leave the rest of us the hell alone!
