Seattle's very own specialty coffee powerhouse is going trans fat free in 10 states starting Wednesday.
Starbucks has announced they will be cutting trans fats from the doughnuts, muffins and other treats in half of its U.S. stores. The other half of the stores will follow suit eventually but it will take some time, as the company adjusts recipes with regional bakers and food suppliers. Apparently the decision has nothing to do with the recent trend in banning trans fats in NYC, theme parks and fast food joints, Starbucks says they've been working on getting rid of the trans fat for over two years now.
Now if they could only be a little more upfront about how brutally high in calories the seasonal drinks can be. Or how about lowering the prices a little?
I guess we can't always have it all, but this is a great start.

4Yeah, if they would come down a little on the prices they would sell more coffee. I never eat the food there anyways, i just drink the coffee

6to cut down on the fat: always ask for nonfat, no whip. to get some extra protein, ask for soy. and don't get the venti, because they always seem to have more pumps of syrup (i.e., more sugar).
