Calories Or Cost?

May 12, 2009 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

 

        With money short and times being tough, restaurants are getting creative.  Instead of building new locations they are just trying to take business from other major chains.  In this case, McDonald’s is looking to reel in new customers from Starbucks with their more affordable  coffee drinks.     Take a guess at which ones are better for your health and your wallet; McDonald’s or Starbucks, then scroll down…..

     The price alone would send you to McDonald’s.  However, if you are a coffee connoisseur, then this quality of coffee may not cut it for you.  Don’t forget that coffee beans are one of the most highly spray crops for pesticides.  You aren’t going to get less chemicals by going cheap.  The only way to avoid the poison is to buy organic beans (which are sometimes hard to find) in chain food restaurants.  Even Starbucks has a limited supply.
