That’s not a secret, it’s literally the main thing to know about the coffee, this factoid was used in the Simpsons.
Isn’t a factoid something that sounds true but is actually false?
A factoid is basically a junk food proposition, it can be false or it can be true but insignificant. Just like how junk food refers to both foods with a lot of empty calories (and so are unhealthy) as well as ultra-processed foods (which need not be unhealthy, but aren’t beneficial either). The individual you’re replying to is using the term correctly.
TIL! Thank you.
Pretty much everything about coffee is bad. It is a jungle monoculture.
There’s often exploitation and it’s hard on the environment.
I switched coffee for Yerba Mate a long time ago. It probably has similar supply chain issues to be honest but its isolated in a specific part of Brazil and Argentina from what I know. @josie@vegantheoryclub.org have you ever been to a mate growing region?
Ah sorry if there is some confusion but I don’t actually live in Brazil. I would like to live there someday tho.
Same! I just knew you spoke Portuguese and thought maybe were a tourist. I can’t imagine a lot of people online live anywhere near Misiones Argentina or the Jungles in Paraná. I also speak a language from a country I didn’t grow up or live in but mostly because I’m not allowed lol.
Sorry, I am running on like three hours of sleep today lol.
I’ve never been to Brazil unfortunately though I have Brazilian friends who have taught me a fair bit about the culture and I have picked up a lot of Portuguese because of this as well. I would love to visit a mate growing region like Paraná or Santa Catarina when I finally do move/travel there though.
It is my goal to move to Uruguay on a permanent basis
There can be an agroforestry version, but probably not at a large scale with massive consumption globally.
Imagine my shock that this article wasn’t about Starbucks.
Yeah last time this came up someone posted another article about people trying it… the voice tastes bad and the only reason it’s expensive is part of the marketing.
It’s a gimmick scam coffee nobody actually wants.
