Berkeley May Ban Non-PC Coffee
If Measure Passes, Violators Could Get Jail Time
Posted: 11:17 a.m. EDT June 18, 2002

BERKELEY, Calif. -- How about some sugar and cream with that coffee? Or maybe
you'd like some "PC" coffee instead?

Some folks in Berkeley, Calif., are calling for only "politically correct
coffee" to be sold inside the city limits.

Attorney Rick Young has turned in 3,000 signatures at City Hall. They support
an initiative allowing coffee brewed for sale to be made only from organic,
shade-grown or Fair Trade certified beans.

To qualify the measure for the November ballot, just over 2,000 of those
signatures must be valid.

If the measure makes it to the ballot and is approved -- retailers will have
three months to comply. Violators could be punished by up to six months in
jail and a $100 fine.
