Ben and Jerry's ain't Ben and Jerry's no more, and I'm not real comfortable with claiming agribiz giant Unilever, the current owner of the brand name, as "socially conscious".


But then, beliefs like quintessial Americans like Ron Olesko aren't exactly rooted in reality, and this whole argument proves that.

Sure, Ben & Jerry's still makes Americans feel all warm and fuzzy. No growth hormones for their cows! Products all come from enviro-friendly and PC "family" farmers.

Which makes it so easy to ignore Unilever's mercury poisoning India, and raping South America to cash in on the genetically modified soya craze to feed the international meat frenzy.

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
