Woman ate only at Starbucks for a year

Popping into a Starbucks, even daily, for a cup of Joe is standard for many. But can you imagine eating solely from Starbucks for an entire year?

It's a tall order that an Issaquah woman challenged herself to.

Reflecting on this challenge, Beautiful Existence said, "I felt like it was definitely something that I could do. I had a lot of support from family and friends."

You would need that support, turning down dinner invitations to make this work, but those close to her are used to tight parameters.

through challenges lasting throughout the tear, like shopping only at Goodwill.

I cant imagine why she'd limit her diet like this, though. I wonder if she's undernourished.

The internet has proven that those people we thought were out there are really out there, so when I see someone come up with these challenges I wonder how they come up with this stuff.

Most people who do the "challenge" thing are into self-improvement, making the world a better place, or something else a bit more meaningful. This one is just weird.

Now she's going to try every sport known to mankind? The luge? Rugby? That thing where Afghanis on horseback knock a pig's head around?

Yikes!

When I read "I had a lot of support from family and friends," I immediately thought it was an onion article.
