Forbes.com: Hobby Lobby Fallout: Catholic Soy Milk Mogul Won't Cover Drugs That 'Prevent Procreation

Eden Foods bills itself as the oldest natural foods company in America. Founder Michael Potter started the business as a co-op in 1960s Michigan, long before terms like “macrobiotics” and “clean eating” were commonplace.

Potter and his team used to walk rural roads, knocking on doors of farms to seek out farmers willing to grow organic produce for the brand.

Today, Eden Foods is an all-American success story, resisting regular buyout bids and doing over $50 million in annual sales. Its rectangular, aquamarine cartons of soy milk will be familiar to anyone who’s ever set foot in a Whole Foods. Its chickpeas and kidney beans are pantry staples.

Bottom line is it will cost them less. That's all that matters. Some may for a time, but the market has its pressures.

To think, we haven't even left the religion, women, birth control phase yet.
What in the state of holey matrimony will they think of next.
How long before some corporate person's constitutional rights are infringed upon by people with green eyes. Or at least some other genetic trait involving coloration.

Floodgates? This has the potential to get real ugly.

Are they the company that has bible scripture on the back of their product?
If so, I'm not surprised by this.
These corporations, just like the GOP, are always looking backwards.
