Starbucks.

I read in an article today that Starbucks is a large contributor to poverty in undeveloped countries.

Instead of using fertile land to produce necessary food sources for the nation, Starbucks would go into the country, buy out the politicians and government officials involved, grow and produce coffee beans and by-products to ship over to developed nations to reap insane profits. Hardly fair because the natives and citizens of that nation depending upon that piece of land to yield necessary staples in life are now deprived of a possible food source. It happens everywhere, not only is Starbucks involved, but larger corporations will reap the same profits and benefits. Responsibility also falls on the government....

Just my opinion. Drink water.

HAHAH :) i will drink water on your behalf, but due to rather unfortunate circumstances, i will have to continue to support this corporation through my labour.
