What I do have is a link to my insightful friend Laura's blog. She wrote a very interesting exposé revealing the truth behind our generation’s addiction to triple grande extra hot double caff super double mochas. Check her out HERE!
She compares our generation's addiction to Starbucks-esque coffee beverages to the cigarette addiction of previous generations. Upon reading this I had an epiphany: I too am nothing but a pathetic addict. A sheep for the slaughter. Are we as American consumers, or just human beings in general, doomed to be forever addicted to whatever is being offered up at the time in a pretty package, or sold by cowboys, for all of eternity?
I guess if I have to have an addiction, I sure am glad it's delicious and sugary. Alcohol, cigarettes, coffee drinks. Soon I am sure the FDA will denounce coffee, milk and sugar or the combination of the three and we will be on the the next "harmless" addiction. I only hope that I won't be that only lady on her porch in her rocking chair sipping coffee drinks while the kids ride by on their bikes, pointing and laughing. They will tell their friends "Isn't that gross, doesn't she know lattes cause cancer?"
