Starbucks also under fire from CSPIPosted Jun 17th 2006 11:27AM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Coffee, Restaurants, Business, Health & MedicalLike KFC just a few days ago, it appears that Starbucks may be the most recent food chain to make the fecal roster of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The consumer health group recently announced that it will now rally against Starbucks for their fattening products, Reuters reported. Comments from CSPI executive director Michael Jacobson on the two food chains are strangely similar in their wit: "Regular consumers of Starbucks products could face Venti-sized health problems," Jacobson told Reuters, shortly after the AP quoted him saying that KFC "recklessly puts its customers at risk of a Kentucky Fried Coronary." CSPI would like Starbucks to post nutrition information on its menu boards, and not just on its website and store brochures.
