Coffee — it’s the fuel of the modern world and certainly this site. And, if you believe this video (apparently not made by Starbucks or the American coffee lobby), it’s the greatest, safest addiction around. Take it all with a grain of salt … while you drink your morning (or afternoon) cup of joe.

The sad and despairing fact of the coffee paradox — where it is the most traded commodity and the street-price of a latte barely trickles back to the plantation. That the consolidation in the coffee supply chain (read Starbucks, Nestle, etc.) and the perverse trade rules, have kept the coffee growing nations in abject poverty.
