Eden Foods bills itself as the oldest natural foods company in America. Founder Michael Potter started the business as a co-op in 1960s Michigan, long before terms like macrobiotics and clean eating were commonplace.
Potter and his team used to walk rural roads, knocking on doors of farms to seek out farmers willing to grow organic produce for the brand.
Today, Eden Foods is an all-American success story, resisting regular buyout bids and doing over $50 million in annual sales. Its rectangular, aquamarine cartons of soy milk will be familiar to anyone whos ever set foot in a Whole Foods. Its chickpeas and kidney beans are pantry staples.

What in the state of holey matrimony will they think of next.
How long before some corporate person's constitutional rights are infringed upon by people with green eyes. Or at least some other genetic trait involving coloration.
Floodgates? This has the potential to get real ugly.

If so, I'm not surprised by this.
These corporations, just like the GOP, are always looking backwards.
