I would have thought Food Babe was a just an opportunistic fear-monger, but when I did some research, I was quite impressed. Meanwhile, this Farmer's Daughter USA seems to just be pushing GMOs. Food Babe's Facebook page has over 750,000 likes and Farmer's Daughter 3211, not that popularity necessarily makes one credible.

As for Starbucks, the lack of transparency is disturbing. I have asthma and like your son, I need to know what I'm consuming.

1/3 cup of sugar? That is insane unless you're suicidal.
