Starbucks is discontinuing Hazelnut coffee

[runnah]

The proof is in your health. Runnah, let's note you are currently taking medicine because I assume you are ill, where as I and my "hokum" organic diet with no added chemicals have not been sick in over two years.

So you go ahead and pay $10 for your Nyquil, and I'll spend $5 on my organic over priced tomato and who actually came out ahead?
*shrug*

Don't you smoke?

Marijuana occasionally. I prefer edables.;-)

Oh I seem to remember you posing with one.

I hope it's all locally grown. Brick from mexico is loaded with crap.

We should hang out...I'll bring the salad.

Except that tomato isn't "just" a tomato, it's Likely a genetically modified tomato blended with some "nutritious" pesticides, while you may get the same benifits from the tomato parts, you are consuming poision along with it. Suppressing your immune system and the benifits of consuming it in the first place

Is this backed up by a peer-reviewed study or just propaganda?

I'm in the middle of helping my little one with a science expirement. I'm happy to share some articles on what a gmo is when I can get to a desktop, if you are actually interested in learning something. If you just want to debate, I'll bow out now.

Oh jeez don't bring GMO into this!

I am always interested in learning, and I always like to have my opinion changed as long as the facts are there.

It's all local, organic and perfectly legal. that was a pipe, not a cigarette. Just looked like one. and don't worry, I'll make the salad, and I promise not to bring up the fact that it is made with organic veggies and homemade organic dressing.

In other news, I'm currently enjoying a lovely cup of Starbucks coffee with some whole milk added! Yum!

I enjoy the Holiday blend immensely. Just like the Tribute blend.

More so than any other coffee.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Holiday blend. I had avoided it because I thought it would be some sort of flavored or spiced concoction, but the other day I asked about it and was told that it's just a darker brew.

My regular practice whenever at a Starbucks is that I ask for a cup of the freshest brew. This is one advantage I will admit that Starbucks has over most local places - the turnover is high enough that there's often a good chance of getting freshly-brewed coffee over stuff that has been sitting for a while.

Good girl.

Believe it or not I am a fan of organic food and locally grown goods. I just wish there were less mythical claims about it.

Meanwhile, we are bombarded daily with "high fructose corn syrup" instead of natural sugars, and we wonder why there is such an obesity epidemic.

I never said HFCS was good for you.

No, you said (in response to someone calling you out on the powdered creamer) that it didn't matter, because your body would take what it needed and "expel" the rest. Essentially saying that it didn't much matter. I'm using fructose and glucose as a very simple example of why it does matter. Your intestine isn't selective, it takes everything it can.

No I responded to the comment that it wasn't "food" by saying it was.

Absolutely! I thought it was going to be something spicy, too, but it's not. I find it very smooth.

My wife used to work there, and they were able to bring home a pound of coffee a week. It was heavenly.

Now that we have to buy it, it's rare to find it in our house. Just like La Colombe. I wish there was a La Colombe near us.

For anyone interested, The Flying Bean (online store) has some pretty good quality flavored coffee at reasonable prices. We don't buy it much anymore as my coffee intake would make us go broke, but it's quite good as a treat.

Marijuana occasionally. I prefer edables.;-)

I'm not trying to be adversarial, just literally asking the question to learn:

Assuming you're not doing it for medicinal purposes, wouldn't smoking marijuana and introducing pollutants (e.g., particulate matter) into your body/airway be considered unhealthy?

So when is this party anyways?

For the record, we don't eat 100% organic, just as much as we can afford. I am more concerned with non gmo than organic. ;-)

I'd love to visit! I've wanted to go there since I was a wee lad.

We try to buy local produce and meats but its not really affordable nor is it practical to buy local produce in Maine, in December.

I never said I was perfect. I just choose my vices wisely. again, it's not something I partake in daily- or even weekly for that matter, and I have switched over to mostly edibles for when I do indulge.

I do believe that the body is capable of eliminating a certain amount of toxins, and eliminating as many toxins as possible is a healthy choice. Eating mcdonalds once a month, isn't going to kill you, or cause you to get sick, but Consuming conventional food regularly, I believe puts your detox system on overload.

For the record I am speaking from personal experience. For years I was extremely overweight (I have before and after pictures to prove it) had severe asthma and was on multiple daily medications, and always sick, always tired. I know it sounds cliche' but, when I changed my diet, I changed my life!

Understood.

Congrats on changing your diet! I lost a lot of weight recently, as well. Down about 60 pounds. I completely understand how losing weight makes you feel better!
