“Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World. From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on down to the capitalist empire of Hershey, PA, and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle’s Starbucks, the modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top.”

I LOVE COFFEE AND CARROT CAKE!!!!!!
The best 🙂
Although I am trying to cut down on the sugar, and it’s proving not to be easy…
But not the coffee right?!?
Definitely NOT the coffee! Gosh, that was a frightening thought…
You are not kidding! 😉
At first I thought, what a pretty post! Then I realized there’s a darker meaning behind the picture. Good quote 🙂
Thanks! Food for thought, especially for all those things we take for granted.
