They're Not Serving My Interest

First KFC, and now Starbucks:

Starbucks Corp. may be next on the target list of a consumer-health group that this week sued the operator of the KFC fried chicken restaurant chain for frying foods in oils high in harmful trans fat.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest said it is planning to campaign against the global cafe chain because of the increased risk of obesity, heart disease and cancer associated with high-calorie, high-fat products it sells.
...
The union contends that Starbucks staff gain weight when they work at the chain. They are offered unlimited beverages and leftover pastries for free during their shifts.

Those bastards at Starbucks!  How dare they give them free food and drink as a benefit of working there!  End the tyranny against free food!  Next thing you know, someone will complain that they offer health insurance plans to even their part time workers.  If the calories bother you that much, order a skim latte next time.  It's not that hard, and it saves you a lot of legal bills.
