Why Haven't The Food Police Critiqued Starbucks?

You’re upset about the diversity training, huh?

Given the timing of this sudden interest in SBUX, it seems so.

Are consumers responsible for understanding and choosing their own food, or is a third party on their behalf?

I thought you were the third party arbiter.

Avocado toast fetish, and such.

Might I cynically suggest the “pass” may have something to do with Starbucks’ vocal and longstanding advocacy for “progressive” politics?

More likely because criticizing a coffee chain for dispensing caffeine is silly. You don’t see a lot of people wasting time complaining that Dunkin’ Donuts products are fattening, either.

Have you by any chance heard that there could very well be an epidemic of diabetes in this country? 64 grams of sugar in one 16 oz drink, c’mon.

Are you suggesting we become a nanny state?

Interesting.

Everyone is a socialist for his own pet peeve or special interest, eh?

Was I for, against, or neutral about avocado toast, in that link?

One link does not constitute a fetish, I believe.

Huh? This is a thread about food. It’s in the proper forum. The forum about food.

Mind boggling.

People should manage their own diets. Starbucks is required to post nutrition info, are they not? After that it should be up to people to own their own mistakes.

Ironic.
Starbucks is asked to be responsible for managing what diners eat, but moderators are asked NOT to be responsible for managing what posters post.

Starbucks does serve plain black coffee, you know. If I had not been served a cup of freshly roasted, freshly ground Starbucks coffee back in the early '70s, I might still be a tea drinker today.

I think Michael erroneously believed I moved it into the politics forum. That’s why he’s stopped complaining when he realized it’s a food topic in a food forum.

Or maybe he just left wineberserkers.

Confusing food matters with fecal matters? More disgusting than a frappacino.

Millions of people get their sugar fix daily at Starbucks. We’ve had Chinese food, movie popcorn, pizza, and others nutrionally critiqued. Why hasn’t Starbucks been scrutinized? Any ideas?

The Grammar Police would note that “critique” is a noun, not verb.

Are you having problems with Ambien?

Just illogical or inconsistent reasoning.
