I work for McDonald's and when we rolled out the Green Mountain coffee I had to attend a conference with a rep from Green Mountain. 2 hours of everything you ever wanted to know about coffee 02.gif I did find it interesting however that they promote their coffee as being a "fair trade" product which is basically a control measure to make sure that everyone gets charged/paid appropriately for the product. Then when you see some of the farms in Columbia where some of the product is grown they explain how each farm is a family business. Meaning everyone in the family works it, including the children! IMO, I don't see much of a difference between this and sweatshops when you get down to it. These kids don't go to school. They just work in the "family" business.

Black with a dump truck of sugar (usually fake sugar) in the morning, from 7-11.

A week ago I went to Starbucks the first time, my girl wanted some. I didn't order anything.... tongue.gif
