Starbucks is a Star (now) in my book!

Hey, am I the last to know (since I steer clear of Starbucks 'cause the stuff is so good and soo fattening), that they have now started putting calorie counts on the coffees? This is such good news, and I hope many restaurants follow their lead.

I had something that was 60 calories and it feel great knowing that I didn't waste 500 calories of my day guzzling something down. Kudos to the marketing guy or girl that pushed that one through.
