Barely a week into its attack on KFC, the health fascists at CSPI are now targetting Starbucks for its “high-fat” and “high-calorie” products. They’ve joined up with the fledgling union of Starbucks employees, which thus far looks to have all of about a dozen members. Here’s the best part:

God damn you, Starbucks.

This is why organized labor is so important. Otherwise, who’s going expose Starbucks’ exploitive practice of giving its emloyees free stuff?
