Skinny Lattes

Seems there are women (probably of the over-weight variety) complaining about the new Starbuck's Skinny Latte being offensive. Excuse me, the word "skinny" obviously doesn't apply to them, so they're taking offense to it. It's a great marketing idea to those that are 1) already health-concious and want to remain that way, and 2) to the fat asses that need to lose some pounds. I love the idea and will start drinking them in a week when I start my new healthy-eating plan. The more skinny lattes sold, the more Starbuck's will keep them on the market.

It's apparent the the lattes themselves are not the issue, it's the word "skinny" that some find offensive, and would label it as such in any place. Hey, if the pump fits, too bad. Get off your dead ass and do something about it, but don't try to ruin it for the rest of us that want to enjoy something tasteful and healthy at the same time. Or remain at plan B and continue eating those honey buns Starbucks offers.

I don't hear men complaining, why is always the whiney women? Because they don't want to take responsibility for their decisions.
