The sugar or calories in any particular item generally isn’t a problem. The actual problem is the rate of consumption.
People drink stuff like this in ridiculous quantities, and then make it even worse by developing a daily habit. I also find it weird that you don’t often see people set aside “half” of their beverage to finish it later; rather, they sip and sip and sip until it’s gone. By that logic, simply reducing the size of the container that you order should let you drink “all” of it and still feel satisfied. (Or, pour some of it into a cup for immediate consumption, and put the rest away. Same with food.)
- tracker1 11y agoTrue enough... I always considered Starbucks as more of a "coffee flavored milk shake" more than coffee... it's easier to put into perspective that way. Then again, I tend to have maybe one every month or so.
- jkestner 11y agoThe real problem is the rate of consumption. This is why fruit juice is about as bad for you as soda. It's like eating several oranges, without the fiber that would fill you up quickly.
