Thank You Starbucks!

On the 24th Starbucks announced that all milk served in their stores will be rBGH free by the end of the year. For the link following impaired, rBGH is a hormone given to cows to increase their milk production. It is not approved for human consumption in Canada, the European Union, or Japan. Unfortunately, the US has decided it's safe for the citizens. I'm sure our good friends at Monsanto said it was safe so, no worries. You can head over to Food and Water Watch and send a personalized thank you message to the CEO of Starbucks.

While we're on the topic of Starbucks, not many people realize that they already offer organic milk at many of their stores. All you have to do is ask (and pay $0.50 more).

And to complete the Starbucks trifecta on a lighter note, did you know the Starbucks Mermaid used to have nipples and a belly button? Check out the history of their logo here.
