An article fron New Scientist reports about a variety of coffee that researchers have found (or "developed"??), that is naturally decaffeinated! Actually it has a very reduced level of caffeine, but still twice as much as commercially decaffeinated coffee.
I think this a a case of Science going to the dark side!! Those plants ought to be torn up by their roots and incinerated!!!!! What if the new decaffeinated variety is genetically dominant, and passes it's decaffeinated genes to the good caffeine-rich arabica coffee plants???? I think we need to call in a strike team from Delta Force and rid the World of this menace and threat to Western Civilization! Can you imagine the world-wide recession that results from office workers, engineers, software developers, teachers, scientists, students, airline pilots, truck drivers, bus drivers, cops, fire fighters, shift workers, physicians, nurses, subway operators, and factory workers don't get the necessary wake-up jolt and synapse firing from their cup of coffee!!!!!! I'm so upset I'm going to get some Starbucks to calm my nerves....................
How can you diss decaffinated like this??? I can't belive it...well, actually I can, but still :D Decaffinated coffee is the BEST!!! whoohooo yah!!!! without it, I would have to give up my beloved java chip frappachinos...and if it came to that, I don't think you would want to see the wreak I would be :)

Well....I'll tolerate the existence of the manufactured decaf coffee...but naturally decaffinated coffee beans, that's {shudder!!!} to awful to even contemplate!!! Then they'll come out with sugar cane that generates nutrasweet instead of sucrose, jalapeno peppers with no fire, eggs with no cholestrol, beef that tastes like chicken.....aiiiiiiiiyyyy!! Quick, I need more coffee!!!!
