I would like to say that because she has an income to where she can afford Starbucks for every meal for a year, that she must be at least semi-intelligent. But then she throws shit around like “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?”. It's dumb bitches like this that ruin it for the rest of us. You go on and spend what could only equate to the amount of MULTIPLE NEW FUCKING CARS on food that you KNOW isn't going to be good for you. I don't call that a "challenge" or "bravery", I call it blatant fucking stupidity. Women as a whole should have a public euthanisation for her.

There's an old woman who made it on the news 1-2 years ago for already doing this. It wasn't even a challenge or stunt. She just eats every meal at Starbucks because she likes it there. I even remember her being quite happy when Bistro Boxes made it big because of the new selection she got to enjoy.

What a non-story.

Yeah lady, because I'm sure women have it as simple as having access to a local Starbucks, having the money to pay for their overpriced shit everyday, and can simply change their lifestyles alone without any form of exercise.

People like her need to shut up. She doesn't even outwardly say how much weight she's lost so far. She's just another homely, pudgy hipster that thinks she's doing something good for the world by being a bitter sounding asshole on an internet blog.

She's not even doing it with in store items. She's using like some random other company that Starbucks owns that makes grocery store goods.

It wouldn't even be hard to do this inside of a starbucks. They have like 35 food choices before you even get into pastries or drinks. Not to mention the odwalla shit as an entire email. Anyone could easily do this if they could afford it and she still takes the even easier route.

The plight of living off of milk, cheese, meat, bread, vegetables, eggs and fruit!

Your store sucks. The food at starbucks is pretty fucking awesome for coming in frozen.

That said, our food is pretty fucking unhealthy too, nor is it meant to replace meals or even be capable of being purchased in a way that would be considered "balanced". She's an idiot.

Their food is the most unhealthy sugar field shit, ever. The only decent item is the protein bistro meal, and the food in that amounts to maybe 1.50 (for top quality ingredients that Starbucks is lacking), but you pay 6-7 bux.... You'd probably need two or three of those for a moderately substantial meal.

This woman is pants on head retarded.

She'll be fine. Oatmeal for breakfast, protein pack (contains an egg, cheese, veggies and slace of bread) for lunch, and one of their sandwiches for dinner. As long as she drinks plenty of water to offset the sodium in the packaged food, that's not a bad diet.

Holy shit really? Restrict your diet to only rice and/or beans as 90% of your sustenance for a year would be more realistic. But then you won't get any fame for that will you? Better yet, restrict your diet to only rice/beans and limit yourself to $50 a month. Now you really are seeing what it's like to be less fortunate.

>She's also doing it because women are important. Citing Jared the Subway Guy and Super Size Me, Existence asks on her blog, "But when I watched those guys doing their thing I asked myself 'where are the WOMEN challenging themselves in the world?'"
