SHAME to Hell on Strabucks

DISCLAIMER:                                                                                                                                                    After much research I found Starbucks reply:

Starbucks Response to Questions                                                                    and Litigation Regarding GMO                                                                                   Labeling

Starbucks Response to Questions and Litigation Regarding GMO                                                                              Labeling

"Starbucks is not a part of any lawsuit pertaining to GMO

labeling, nor have we provided funding for any campaign.

And Starbucks is not aligned with Monsanto to stop

food labeling or block Vermont State law.

The petition claiming that Starbucks is part of this

litigation is completely false and we have asked

the petitioners to correct their description

of our position.

Starbucks has not taken a position on the issue of

GMO labeling. As a company with stores and a product

presence in every state, we prefer a national solution."

Neil Young Boycotts Starbucks Over GMO Lawsuit

"I used to line up and get my

Neil Young is boycotting Starbucks

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 

eschewing non-organic cotton 

and 

urged fans to do the same.
