Starbucks Milk Is Cow Pus Milk!
Holy cow! How could we have missed it??
Do you know what “cow pus milk” is? To increase production, dairy farmers drug their cows with growth hormone so that the mama cow breasts swell up and they make more milk. Here’s a link where you can see the results of this disgusting practice.
After watching that horrific video, in my family’s lingo, any milk that doesn’t have a growth hormone disclaimer on the label is “cow pus milk.” It is very easy to avoid it–nowadays they don’t even have it on the shelf at most NYC supermarkets.
A couple weeks ago, I walked into the Starbucks across from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. As usual, they were out of milk at the little preparation counter. I asked the woman pulling lattes, and she poured it in my coffee straight from the plastic jug.
GROSS! It was cow pus milk! I couldn’t believe it. With the money they get for their products, you’d think they could afford to pay the few extra pennies for growth-hormone-free dairy products. Really–the growth hormone-free stuff is not expensive, like organic, but it is literally a few cents more.
Is this a new approach Starbucks is taking in these economically-strained times?
If so, it tastes like “New Coke” to me. As the recent Starbucks instant coffee taste test seemed so well to demonstrate, and as any fool can tell you, it’s not the taste as much as the trust in high quality that makes Starbucks so desireable.
I emailed Starbucks before publishing this entry, but was answered by nothing but cold, white, pus-laden silence.
Go ahead. Don’t take my word for it. The next time you’re in a Starbucks, ask to see the milk jug first.
