A Kilo of Coffee makes 80 cups...

If Starbucks bought 175 million kilos of coffee last year at $3.28 / kilo that cost them $574 million

The suppliers of their coffee live in abject pove...rty... Their idea of 'prosperity' if simply having somewhere to live, food and medical care, and the ability to send their children to school.
Instead they struggly to make enough money to live at the most basic level. Ethepoian coffee producing areas are suffering famine - not because of drought, but ecconomic famine because they can't afford the most basic food and are reliant on international aid to survive.

Charlotte King I LOVE EGGNOG LATTES!!! Please make them all year round, and also, what happened to the red sprinkles?!
