About Me

My photo
For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

SHAME to Hell on Strabucks



Neil Young Boycotts Starbucks Over GMO Lawsuit

"I used to line up and get my 

latte everyday, but yesterday 

was my last one," 

rocker announces

Neil Young is seeking a new 
source for his daily latte. 
The rocker 
announced on his website this 
week that he's boycotting 
Starbucks over the coffee 
company's involvement in a 
lawsuit against the state of 
Vermont's new requirements 
to label genetically modified 
ingredients.

"There's much more at stake 
here than just whether GMO 
foods will be labeled in a single 
U.S. state. Vermont is the very 
first state in the U.S. to require 
labeling. Dozens of other states 
have said that they will follow 
this path -- in order to 
encourage this, we need to 
ensure that Vermont's law 
stands strong."
"Considering that 
Starbucks has been progressive 
on 
LGBT and labor issues in the past, 
it's disappointing that it is 
working 
with the biggest villain of them 
all, Monsanto," he continued.

Young closed his note by 
directing 
fans to the website of the 
organization SumOfUs to 
donate
or sign a petition, and asking 
them to "pressure and call out 
members of the Grocery 
Manufacturers Association."

This isn't the only recent instance 
of Neil Young rallying fans to 
join him in a boycott on 
environmental grounds. 
Back in August, he explained
 his reasons 
and 
urged fans to do the same.

  1. My Research showed me that Starbucks as a private company is not suing Vermont....

    However, Starbucks Is a member of the Grocery Manufacturers Association. It IS GMA that is suing Vermont...



    I do believe that Starbucks response is nothing more
    than Political Whit/Greenwashing, and in light
    of the FACT that GMO's are Harmful and Poisonous
    and Refuses to serve GMO free product, I believe it is
    safe to say; Starbucks obviously does not give a damn about the health of their customers and has their heads where they can/will not see the light.

    Mr. Young needs to do his research & frame his comments within the correct parameters.
