As reported by Alex Blaze on the Bilerico Project, William Bolthouse, founder and 43% owner of Bolthouse Farms, a farm in California that provides organic juices, lemonades, and smoothies to places like Whole Foods and other organic market places, has just recently given a donation of $100,000 to proponents of a campaign to strip California couples of the right to marry.
Please take a moment and let Bolthouse Farms and their distributors know that you will no longer be purchasing their organic products, because even though they are organic, they come with some nasty side effects. Sign the petition.
Fascinating…
If you go to http://www.thebolthousefoundation.org/ it states that,
“Mr. and Mrs. William J. Bolthouse sold their interest in Wm. Bolthouse Farms in late 2005, and since then The Bolthouse Foundation has reflected their giving decisions exclusively. The Bolthouse Foundation is a separate entity from Bolthouse Farms, and all funding decisions by The Bolthouse Foundation are made solely by the Foundation. No members of The Bolthouse Foundation have a financial interest in Bolthouse Farms, and The Bolthouse Foundation receives neither financial support nor benefits from the profits of Bolthouse Farms.”
But then if you go to the Bolthouse Farm site
(http://www.bolthouse.com/html/cs_comp_missionn.html), you find:
“Corporate Philosophy
The purpose of this Company is to glorify God through our business transactions, our work, and our relationships. It is further our desire to bring honor and glory to the Name of Jesus Christ by following God’s Word in all of our dealings with employees, suppliers, and customers. God’s Work as contained in His Inspired Scriptures will be the final authority in all Corporate matters concerning direction, decisions, and disputes.”
It would seem that ‘Bolthouse Farms’ is still owned by ‘Wm Bolthouse Farms Inc’ (a corporation that owns a whole buncha other brands, too: http://www.findownersearch.com/owner/2030464/). If you intentionally hide ownership of a company, it is considered a lie, and if so have you sinned?
It’s OK If You’re A Republican – IOKIYAR
Seriously.
Betty:
Pardon my absolute “non hipness”, but what does IOKIYAR mean?
Um, “It’s OK If You’re A Republican”
Oh… thanks Betty…
Sans the need for inclusiveness…. Are there any Republicans here?
