Starbucks to Post Calorie Counts On Menus
The world's largest coffee chain announced Tuesday it will begin posting calorie counts for its popular coffee drinks on menu boards in its stores. The company is beating the government to the punch with the move, as the US Food and Drug Administration is currently finalizing a new regulation that will require food chains with more than 20 locations to post calorie info on menus. Several other large chains, such as McDonald's, have also decided to begin posting nutrition info in stores prior to the government making it mandatory. Of course, in some cities such as New York City calorie counts are already required for chain restaurants.

UK Authorities Probing Google, Amazon & Starbucks for
Tax Evasion
British authorities are investigating a group of giant US companies for possible tax evasion. The UK Parliament's Public Accounts Committee held an unusual hearing on Monday to address claims that Google, Amazon and Starbucks have been hiding earnings in the UK for years in order to save money on their tax bills. Officials charged that Starbucks' claims that it has been losing money in Britain are simply not believable. Starbucks, which has operated in Britain for 15 years now, has claimed a net loss for UK operations in all but one of the years it has operated there.
