Beautiful Existence, Seattle Woman, Plans To Eat Only Starbucks For One Year

Alright folks, the nation's Starbucks obsession has officially got out of hand. Earlier this year, a woman claimed she lost 85 pounds by eating a Starbucks diet. Then, this week, we learned that a man was attempting to visit all 201 Starbucks in Manhattan. Perhaps in effort to combine these two notions, a Seattle woman, legally named Beautiful Existence, will eat only food from Starbucks this year. She'll also be only drinking beverages from Starbucks as well, but will include drinks from Tazo Tea and Evolution Fresh since both fall under the Starbucks brand.

Beautiful Existence cites several reasons for this endeavor. She explains them on her blog:

So how can eating only one company’s products impact me, anybody? Well Mr. McDonald’s already proved that question years ago with his documentary and Mr. Subway did his take on the loosing weight portion of the food challenges too. But when I watched those guys doing their thing I asked myself “where are the WOMEN challenging themselves in the world?” “Where are the effects being shown on a woman’s culture? A woman’s family & children? A woman’s diet, weight, fashion, checkbook, community and world through challenges?” “Where is HER VOICE on how an international company is directly or indirectly impacting everything from her waistline to her bottom line and every other woman’s, man’s, child’s, societies and planets world with their presence?”

She adds later on in the same post:

So again, WHY? am I doing this challenge? Or WHY? will I do any challenge in the future? Because I LOVE being human and I LOVE the privilege of being able to ask the question WHY? in the first place! I love the question WHY? because sometimes I find that the answer leaves me with even more questions about life… and then, my circle starts all over again and I wouldn’t want my WHY? any other way.

So yeah, there you go.

So far, Existence has really liked the Turkey Rustico Panini and is trying hard not to eat any of the baked items.

In 2011, Existence spent a year shopping only at Goodwill and in 2012 she spent the year living the Parents magazine life. Who knows what 2014 will have in store?
