speaking of coffee...
Coming up on TV Ontario, cable 2, Monday,
one of the best economic documentaries of the
past decade:
BLACK COFFEE
Like millions of other java-addicted consumers, you
probably make a beeline for your local coffee shop
every morning, and willingly shell out as much as $4
for a tall, non-fat latte. But what you pay for your
morning fix equals a day's wages for the millions of
workers who harvest the bean. Black Coffee provides
an intriguing glimpse into the dark side of the brew,
which is the second largest trading commodity in
the world after oil, and like sugar, has been
instrumental in promoting the slave trade.
