If you haven’t noticed yet, we are a company that has some pretty strong opinions, whether about how we can shift consumption of animals to plants in order to help secure the longevity of our planet, or about whether the Seattle Mariners will ever play in a World Series. Most companies think that having a strong opinion means scaring away customers who think differently. We think it’s a good way to make some new friends. So, for the record, we believe we should grow stuff to eat instead of growing stuff to feed animals that we then eat. Everybody—regardless of spiritual beliefs, birth country, race, gender, sexual orientation, or color of their nail polish—is of equal worth. The reckless pursuit of profits without any consideration for the well-being of the planet and the humans that live here should be considered a crime. Companies have as much responsibility as politicians do for building a society that every one of us living in this world can admire.
