I keep going back to wonder how exactly I was infected with this crap. For 8 years prior to dog grooming I worked in Seattle for Starbucks. Interesting article. Could be nothing, or could be the reason I'm sick. sites.mercola.com/2001/mar/14/starbucks.htm

Starbucks recently admitted on National Public Radio that Fair Trade coffee constitutes only one tenth of one percent of their total sales, and only recently started offering (6/01) certified organic coffee (in bulk bean form ony) at all. One of the demands of the OCA is that Starbucks start to brew Fair Trade coffee at least one day a week as its "coffee of the day" in all of its cafes. In response Starbucks continues to make the preposterous claim that there's not enough quality Fair Trade coffee available for them to be able to do this. Statements like this make it impossible to believe almost anything that corporations like Starbucks have to say. Therefore the Organic Consumers Association Frankenbuck$ campaign will continue, until Starbucks agree in principle to meet all of our demands--including an end to their sourcing of sweatshop coffee
