Yes, there are chemicals and
foodlike substances in it, but isn't the bigger issue that we're still paying upwards of $ 5 for a single cup of coffee instead of eating healthy, less expensive food (like fresh pumpkin)?
But from my observations it seems hardly related to the amount of animal products
in the shopping cart, but rather to the amount of processed, refined and manufactured food (or rather «edible
foodlike substances, as Michael Pollan put it).
