Starbucks watch out...

Everyone sing the song with me now - biotechnology is a wonderful thing.

We can grow corn that doesn't need pesticides. We can grow vaccines in tobacco plants. We can develop new fuels, plastics and medications...

... and now, we can even grow decaffeinated coffee.

Scientists at Emory University in Atlanta are trying to teach bacteria how to devour and destroy the caffeine contained in a coffee plant.

If successful, which the scientists say is years away, the experiment may yield a naturally decaffeinated brew that could have a richer and deeper taste than the decaf fare currently available.

In an era where coffee is "Fair Trade," "Bird-Safe," and organic, this will give the left-wing, holier than thou coffee crowd nightmares. On one hand, they can have lousy decaf that meets all their artificial criteria...

...or they can have (and sell) really good tasting decaf, only available through biotechnology.
