Okay, so White Wave is committed to non GMO. That's a good thing.

I think you're wrong to support this. When it comes to soy, it's organic or nothing! Think about Monsanto and the GMOs in non-organics. Tara is right to be so hard on this company. If more people would put pressure on them, then maybe they'd go back to organics.

Never trusted Silk from the get go, gets too much shelf space which always makes me leery when it comes to industry standards. After reading this article, I am so glad that I've stayed away — the ethics of the company are not in conjunction with the ethics of this consumer.

As for dairy — as a Vegan with a milk protein allergy, it is a non issue. Again, I question the ethics and sustainability no matter what Dean states. I find it suspect as well that Silk is pushing their Almond milk so hard. Again, I question the product in light of the company.

Soy milk — I don't consume a lot of it, but I would recommend Eden Soy. They are more expensive, but it is an environmentally sound company and product from what I can glean. Besides, if you taste it, you know it is as close to tofu as one can get

Thanks for the blog ~

interesting article – what's a small do-gooder company to do in these times? is there just no protective umbrella for intentionality? and I don't even like soymilk…

[...] This is not new news, but it took us a month to report this because, well, it’s disappointing. Nicole, founder of Infinitea, has been a friend and advertiser, someone we looked forward to seeing week in and week out at the Boulder County Farmer’s Market, which can here be credited with another success story. And we know she was busy with family, and was probably burned out. But is the only solution to sell out to huge corporations (though Hain Celestial is probably one of the best biggies, as opposed to, say, Dean). [...]
