the biggest problem with coffee is that in general they use as many herbicides as they do on tobacco. this can be as many as 40 different ones. organic (so says the Californian)

The biggest problem for me is that it makes me feel like
the living dead -- even the best coffee, even in small
amounts.

Are you saying the Californian claims they use pesticides
even on organic coffee?

avoid moron coffee at all costs.

All coffee sold in Berkeley must be either fair trade or
organic, by law. At least that's my understanding. Whether
that applies to beans too or only prepared coffee I can't
remember.
