BC-A, Dunkin & Starbucks would be smart to grow their own trees.

Wiley...could be! I've heard there could be a shortage of coffee, so,

no doubt that's at least one reason coffee prices are on the rise.

I guess that's why the prices are skyrocketing for coffee right now.

Everytime now onwards.that I drink coffee, I'll be calculating how much of a tree's yield I have consumed. That 'll be a good exercise?

Astounding fact. I don't drink coffee, but to me that's astounding. It reminds me to wonder, do we all consume much more than we need to?

I did not know that and wow I consume a lot so it would be tough to envision the number of trees, too! sam
