Is Coffee Appropriate For Kids?

I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was in my 20s. Of course, growing up in the 80s coffee wasn’t the phenomenon it is now. Kids didn’t have to “get their Starbucks” before school, and my only experience with coffee was the bitter stuff my Dad drank.

So how young is too young?

Here’s one informal poll that surprises me.

And one from the retailer’s perspective.

So who’s right?

I don’t have the answer. But I am glad I don’t have kids–no “but so and so gets to drink coffee!” fights.
