Starbucks pastries are now made with margarine and palm oil.

um, i guess vegans can rejoice. i only buy from Starbucks out of desperation, (who knew i wouldn't be able to find a semi-competent barista in San Francisco?) but this is completely disgusting. and freaking hypocritical - here's your trans-fat free muffin with your chock-full-of-natural-trans-fat latte. lessee...we don't grind the coffee fresh, we don't manually pull shots, and now we serve leaden pastry. ugh.

Gah! I HATE the food industry. The research consistently says "Foods that occur in nature are better for you than foods that don't." And yet they consistently fuck it up when they go to carry it out.

Drat. Their pastries were one of the reasons I preferred them to other generic coffee chains.

Yea! Charbux blows some more.

Wow.

I have used http://www.coffeegeek.com/forums and then used the US regional ones (at the bottom) with good luck for my various travels. My friend in Charleston (who is a saint for rescuing me on the weekend from the training camp) is still somewhat of a self-styled "redneck from idaho" who had just recent discovered Starbucks and thought it the end all of coffee. I had to help him. It was a mission from God.

Does anyone know why the {q} tag sometimes works and sometimes doesn't?

Thanks.
