I don't know about you, but I'm going to make sure I buy plenty of Dr. Bronner's products. YES on labeling!!!
Fuck the greedy bastards, support the honest companies like Dr. Bronner's.

(1,754 posts)Dr. Bronner's peppermint is my favorite soap - I'm glad to find out they are a progressive company.

(2,062 posts)I don't see what everybody sees in it. I NEVER used the Peppermint flavor Dr. Bronner's - Eucalyptus was always my favorite, although NOBODY has mentioned it above! After Eucalyptus, Lavender is pretty cool, IMHO. And besides, Peppermint tea or Peppermint candies irritate and really screw up my lips for Pan Flute playing!
The really depressing thing about this story is no how many people love Peppermint, but how easily people's opinions can be swayed by corporate TV advertising and their bogus arguments. It's like the last thing to fill the vacuous bubble inside their heads before election day determines what these zombies vote for - no matter how liberal they are. For example, the clip from the anti-labeling ad presented in this video cited increased regulatory costs - but nobody bothered to counter that objection with the increased health risks and health care costs of eating GMO foods, or to establish a priority of putting one's personal health and knowledge about what they were eating above such secondary and peripheral situations. It's like when the average American, be they blue or red, liberal or conservative, sits in front of the Boob Tube, they are instantly hypnotized, and all critical thinking is suspended. How sad!
