Starbucks: Are The Pounds Worth The Bucks??



We all love Starbucks! We crave that Caramel Macchiato every morning on our ways to work and certainly don't mind standing in that long ass line every single time we visit a Starbucks. We even manage to blow half our paychecks on Starbucks alone. But is Starbucks harming our healths along with our bank accounts? We may be paying for the overpriced coffee and muffins but are we also paying them with our healths? Is Starbucks one of the main reasons we wake up every morning with an additional 5lbs on our guts or can eating at Starbucks every meal help us lose weight as it did for the woman who went on the Starbucks diet, which I think is ridiculous.

So what are we supposed to order at Starbucks? Should we start swapping our Java Chip Frappuccinos for regular dark roasts? Should we swap out muffins for oatmeal? Some Starbucks do list the caloric content of some of its foods and beverages, but what about the ones that do not? Do we make our choices based on instinct or craving? Or should we just leave and head off to work without it?!? *GASP* WHAT NONSENSE!!
