No “buddy”,
“Cultivate” or “breed”, and “design” are NOT the same.
If you’d like to argue with decades of experience and education in Agricultural Systems and the Environment across 6 continents, knock yourself out making yourself look stupid. We don’t “design” plants. Thats corporate jargon nonsense. We cultivate, hybridize and practice selection… or unfortunately genetically modify.
We don’t “design”.
And to that end, Starbucks buys 100% arabica regardless if it’s across various sources and regions. Period.
Yes, we cultivate. NO it’s not “designing”. You know what “designing” plants is called? GENETIC MODIFICATION. And even then, we don’t call it “design”.
If you mean to say that Starbucks genetically modifies beans, THERE ARE NO genetically modified beans available on the comercial market.
Stop talking out of your ass.
Back to the point:
There are literally dozens of ACTIVE international lawsuits against Starbucks as I write this.
Here are just the headlines of a simple search:
**Major Human Rights Lawsuits**
**The Brazilian "Slavery-Like Conditions" Class-Action (2025–2026):** In April 2025, eight Brazilian workers sued Starbucks under the *Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act*. After a venue change, the case was re-filed in federal court in Seattle in **June 2026**. The lawsuit accuses Starbucks of profiting from migrant workers trafficked by recruiters (*gatos*) and forced to harvest coffee under "slavery-like conditions". Allegations include extreme debt bondage, a complete lack of toilets or clean drinking water, illegal wage deductions, and severe threats of violence. One worker was reportedly killed by a coffee-picking machine on a plantation linked to the supply network. \[[1](https://www.facebook.com/KING5News/posts/a-class-action-lawsuit-filed-thursday-in-us-district-court-in-seattle-accuses-st/1481969840641867/), [2](https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/starbucks-lawsuit-alleges-brazilian-workers-faced-slavery-like-conditions-coffee-farms/281-8cd42b99-0210-4371-ac77-d1127c68a8ea)\]
**The National Consumers League False Advertising Lawsuit (2024):** In January 2024, the National Consumers League (NCL) filed a major consumer protection lawsuit. It alleged that Starbucks' "100% ethical" branding is deceptive trade fraud because the company knowingly continues to buy coffee and tea from farms with documented child labor and forced labor abuses. \[[1](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/starbucks-sued-allegedly-using-coffee-farms-rights-abuses-touting-ethi-rcna130393), [2](https://nclnet.org/national-consumers-league-sues-starbucks-alleging-coffee-giant-deceives-customers-with-claims-of-100-ethical-coffee-tea/), [3](https://www.facebook.com/KING5News/posts/a-class-action-lawsuit-filed-thursday-in-us-district-court-in-seattle-accuses-st/1481969840641867/)\]
**The Hagens Berman Consumer Class-Action (2026):** Filed in January 2026 in Washington federal court, this massive class-action lawsuit targets Starbucks for misleading consumers about systemic labor law violations. The filing notes specific examples of C.A.F.E.-certified farms maintaining their "ethical" status for years despite repeatedly being caught operating dangerous and degrading worker camps.
DOMESTICALLY, Starbucks is currently facing or has settled hundreds of domestic lawsuits and regulatory enforcement actions brought by employees for labor law violations.
Just in New York they settled an almost $40M lawsuit where over 500,000 VIOLATIONS were proven across 300 locations.
Take care of their employees and partners huh?
Now you can either dig in and effectively turn your ignorance into stupidity, or do some research and come from an educated informed position. Ignorance is forgivable, stupidity is…. Well just stupid.
