These two are an embarrassment to VT and should immediately be shipped to Cuba.

What they sell is slightly better for human health than what Philip Morris sells, yet they think they are SJWs. Stupid hippies.

Seems like a whole bunch of who gives a sh*t to me. Has no effect on my life, they are free to sell their ice cream where ever they do or do not choose too. I don't buy there ice cream anyway, too expensive and no better than cheaper brands.

Agreed.

But I will add that there's a new trend in the business world that businesses have to be social justice champions to maintain their market share. The younger generations tend to give a sh!t about this stuff and will often patronize a company just because they support a particular feel good cause.

In short, I see this kind of thing as largely a marketing gimmick. Support my company because we support black lives matter, oppressed Palestinians, etc.

A very stupid marketing gimmick to piss-off Israel supporters. Ben and Jerry are rich, woke and stupid. The Alchemist owners are following in their footsteps.

As if Israel is going to change its national defense policy on the basis of imported ice cream.
