It’s not that Starbucks claims that there drinks are healthy it’s more of a “fake image” that subconsciously hits the consumer. From the barrister’s to their “healthy alternative food selection” there is feel that the rest of the items are just as healthy and unless sugar is the new healthy ingredient I beg to differ. For most of there enticing drinks are filled with tons of sugar and artificially flavors, that attract the young people like bees to honey. While Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds create similar unhealthy attraction for their consumers people have a different vibe when drinking those beverages. Our young people might be cutting back on Oreo’s & Whoppers but are drinking themselves to unhealthy lifestyle instead and Starbucks needs to reconsider their ingredients as well. Replacing sugar with substitutes such as agave might be a bit more expensive but with drinks starting at no less then $2 I think they can afford to make this move. Be warned Starbucks it will only be a matter of time and less profits for some government entity to step in and make this move for you if it isn’t done voluntarily and although I’m a free marketer this market is getting to unhealthy for our country.
