The PSL & Public Health

What does the seasonally ubiquitous pumpkin spice latte (Or just "A pump. spice, please," or just, "I'll have a PSL.") have to do with public health?

...Not as much as I expected to find upon research, but, inspired by the beverage's especial zest this year, I did find an unexpected connection between Starbucks and public health: national newspapers recently circulated CEO Howard Schultz's open letter requesting that licensed carriers not pack their guns into the 'Bucks, several of which have brewed with rights protests since increased attention to the gun violence epidemic.

But I think Mr. Schultz should speak out a little bit farther upstream: Make PSLs, not guns.

If you happen to have succumbed to the annual pumpkin spice lattemptation, at least check out this economical recipe from the Huffington Post.
