FOR ALL YOU COFFEE LOVERS

National Geographic channel does a documentary on coffee
Coffee: Beans to Buzz tonight @ 8 p.m.

The documentary takes a socioeconomic look at the second most traded commodity in the world today--coffee. Your first-class cup-o-coffee makes its way to you from the hands of third world laborers. Laborers make just 3 dollars a day pain-stakingly gathering coffee beans for the end-consumer and most consumers fork out 2-3 dollars for just one cup, all the while unaware of the underlying issues. It just doesn't add up. For more information on the show, check out this link my friends:

I won't get a chance to check it out for I have to work tonight, but I hope people tune in
