Coffee prices

This is an interesting site to look at if you drink coffee, especially if you are spending R10 0r R15 on a cup, or a latte, or whatever these places make these days. It's kind of strange, seeing as though coffee is seen as the drink of successful people these days. Places like Vida and Starbucks are trendy, and all the young, and successful people must be seen at these places. I have always found it a bit arbitrary to go drink coffee when you want to do something. Why coffee? It's as random as going to eat Skittles with someone. Mostly, I believe, places like Vida are there so people can be spotted. With Vida in town, the tables flow onto the street, where everyone can see you. Vida in Cavendish flows out into the hallways, with no barriers, so everyone can see you, what you are wearing, and generally you can put out that rich, successful vibe even if that's not who you are.

When you realise that virtually none of the money from your coffee is going to these farmers, it is rather disturbing. Once again, Africa gets exploited and no one really seems to mind. They are too busy fucking around in Iraq, killing kids. Once again, I guess, George Bush wins.

America always wins
