I know you guys have heard of the poop coffee they get from those little civet animals in Asia. No? Well it is a very expensive type (running $150 - $260 a pound) that they get from an animal called a civet's poop. These animals only consume the ripest coffee cherries to eat, but can't digest the bean inside. The processors take the bean from the poop clean it ferment it and bla bla however they make coffee from there. Now before people were selling all kinds of poop coffee (it wasn't authentic civet poop, maybe it was there's idk) but scientists have found a way to test the coffee to see if it is the real deal. Now people will know they are getting bang for there buck. Well what i think about this is that i really want to try this coffee. I mean $260 a pound!? Must be something pretty good right? I just hope they don't cage the animals or anything. I'm also really glad they created the test because if I buy some shit coffee I want it to be...well the shit. Lolss, sorry Ms. Countryman, just being real here. So hurrah to scientist who are discovering ways to do everything nowadays. I appreciate the hard work in your new discoveries that you so graciously share with us everyday.

I'm not entirely sure how this article is very relevant in our world today. It is interesting just perhaps not especially meaningful to our future.
