Report: Starbucks Not the Healthy Alternative to Junk Food

So much health news in The New York Times today...

Marian Burros of The New York Times rounds up the problems linked to many of America’s popular junk foods. Here’s one of note:
A venti — or 20-ounce — Caffè Mocha with whipped cream has 490 calories, equivalent to a Quarter Pounder with cheese. And a 24-ounce Java Chip Frappuccino with whipped cream has 650 calories, not to mention almost an entire day’s allowance of saturated fat.


According to the center, a nutritional advocacy group, the Frappuccino is equivalent in calories to a McDonald’s coffee plus 11 of their creamers and 29 packets of sugar.
