“… Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Is a Boycott Target Like Bud Light. Why Stockholders Shouldn’t Worry.
Another week, another controversy over a company speaking out on a contentious issue. This time it’s ice-cream brand Ben & Jerry under fire after calling for returning land in the U.S. to indigenous communities. …" __ Barrons.com
While the planet roasts, while fascism infects the Republican Party, while the human population seethes in desperation and anger, conservatives are focused on ice cream. Risible.
Since the end of red artificial food colouring many manufacturers have switched to using cochineal bugs. They are oval-shaped scale insects around 0.2 inches long — are harvested and turned into the natural dyes cochineal extract, carmine and the pure pigment carminic acid. They have been used to color food, textiles and cosmetics for centuries.
Hilarious that some misinformed trolls think that half the country are extremist right wing followers that would boycott a product just because the leaders of the violent minority say so. Maybe 20% are still under sway but that number diminishes each day the people become more enlightened to the truth
B&Js parent company, Unilever, is still doing business in Russia and paid the Kremlin $113 million in taxes over the last year to feed their war machine. Another reason to avoid B&Js product.
We make our own and just whipped up some Taro ice cream this morning, last batch was pineapple. Lets us know what goes into it avoid bugs and other undesirable things.

We expect Payne’s cartoons to be detached from reality, but chunky insects made in China?

Ben & Jerry’s statement led to a $2 billion market decrease in market capitalization for their parent company Unilever.
These leftists in companies never learn that alienating half of your customers is not good business practice.
I never, ever talk politics with my clients. The way I see it, some vote red, some vote blue, but all of their money is green.

I wonder if Ben & Jerry’s is going to give the stolen land at their Vermont headquarters back to the Indians from which it was stolen?
