Americans are drinking more coffee than they have in decades. But fewer of them are getting it from Starbucks. The company that revolutionized the United States' coffee culture remains America's biggest player, with nearly 17,000 U.S. stores and plans to open hundreds more. But it's facing unprecedented competition, which will make it harder to win back the customers it already lost.

We're all stuck in this constant fight of trying to add more protein to our diets. And more often than not, it's a losing battle.

A number of restaurants and coffee chains are saying thank you to our service members on this Veterans Day with some sweet deals. Wawa and Starbucks are both offering a free cup of coffee for veterans, active military members and their families. Krispy Kreme is offering a free small coffee with a donut. On the savory side, Applebee's, Red Lobster and Cracker Barrel are all offering a free entree for those who show proof of service.
