Starbucks Launches ‘Real Food’ Campaign, but where’s the Real Food?

So the often ‘anti-corporation,’ sometimes overly kuombaya liberal in me is slightly embarrassed to admit that I frequent the 9th avenue Starbucks around the corner from my apartment. Since the beginning of 2010, I’ve noticed they’ve launched a “Real Food’ Campaign, with signs around the store boasting similar sentiments to the one above. At first, this was very exciting, until I looked into the food display case…

















It seems with the implantation of the “Real Food’ Campaign comes the addition of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes (which you can also conveniently buy in a 6 pack container), ‘low-fat’ Banana Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake and a whole assortment of cookies and doughnuts. I didn’t notice any real food, let alone anything gluten free, except for the non-organic bananas (which are more expensive than the small cookies!) by the counter. Thank you, Starbucks, for taking out the trans fat and high fructose corn syrup, but a slice of lemon cake with vanilla frosting doesn’t quite qualify as ‘real food’ in my book.

At this point in my life, I’m really interested in understanding what it takes to transform and heal our bodies, on a physical, nutritional, emotional, psychological and spiritual level.  There has been much learning in the process, and much learning to come, so I’ve started this blog to track what I’ve learned, as well as my thoughts and inquiries.

My goal is to post at least twice a week. I hope you enjoy it! And of course, I welcome any feedback, comments, thoughts and questions!

In the spirit of health and healing,
