And yes, Starbucks is fast food. What&rsquo;s the food cost for a 1/2 cup of oats and some flavoring? Like 4 cents. I&rsquo;ll bet the cup they serve it in costs as much as the food.</p> <p>I don&rsquo;t understand why you&rsquo;d pay $3 for this on your way to work. You know you can grab a packet of instant oatmeal out of your pantry and bring it to work right? Microwave it in your coffee cup. It&rsquo;s probably about 15 cents that way.</p>
