Hey, those cheesy danes are full of putrescences!

Good for you, but offensive to many others.

No offense or nuthin', but I do feed mycrobes down there with starch-on-the-rocks - but not in office areas during hours!

I'd rather be welcomed than unwelcomed.

Those Starbuckers are always on the run. GIT 'EM!

Bunch'a chicory eaters (and drinkers) s'wut!

I support your idea, though!

There are more carcinogens floating in ocean water.


Maybe billboards of cancer victims on one's way to LA beaches?


Maybe a #I_swam movement? A march? CNN appearance?

Can we put a diabetes warning on candy too?

And a fat warning on any clothes over size 2 for women? Or whatever women sizing is, I don't get their numbering system

If you care about the link between food and drink, and cancer, coffee should be the least of your worries.

Ruling stands.

California judge affirms ruling for coffee cancer warnings - WHTM

A Los Angeles judge has issued a final ruling requiring coffee to carry cancer warning labels in California.

Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle issued his decision that Starbucks and other coffee companies failed to show that benefits from drinking coffee outweighed any risks.

Too much Nanny State Health Police.

You'd be much more likely to get high cholesterol from the milk or other health issues from high amounts of sugar and high fructose corn syrup than cancer.

They aren't clear in the article -- is the cancerous chemical "caused" from the roasting of coffee, or is it added as a separate chemical during the roasting? If it's the former, then all brands of coffee would have to be labeled in CA, even organic......
