Starbucks To Stop Serving Organic Milk

Wall Street Journal:

Starbucks Corp. plans to stop selling organic milk at its stores next month.

The Seattle coffee giant has stocked organic milk at U.S. shops since 2001. Starbucks spokesman Brandon Borrman said the original reason for offering it was to cater to customers who wanted milk from cows that weren't given recombinant bovine growth hormone.

Earlier this month, Starbucks completed the switch to serving milk only from cows that weren't given the artificial growth hormone, which helps cows produce more milk.

Buy "Caribou" if you really like a good cup of coffee.

$9 for a cup of coffee, and they charge extra for organic milk.

You people are suck suckers.

If growth hormones are good enough for Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, they're apparently good enough for Starbucks. "Clear" and "Cream" flavored lattes are sure to be big sellers for wannabe pro athletes.

The good stuff costs more than a buck a gallon more. That adds up. If it doesn't cost them too many customers, it isn't a bad move.

I would rather have hormone free, cholesterol free soybean milk.

Can I just get a cup of coffee-flavored coffee from unadulterated dried/roasted coffee beans?
No frills, no foo-foo, just coffee. Do that and I'll pay you a dollar...
