I’m a sucker for chai. The pre-made stuff you find at the deli is usually made with milk and ain’t so calorie-friendly, but whatever. I’ll forsake my waistline for a bit of flava any day of the week.
Among my favorite chai varietals? The one from Bolthouse Farms, with vanilla and added protein gunk. I know that looks pretty vile typed out, but trust me: ’tis rather awesome.
Unfortunately, the magic is now gone, thanks to this bit of news:
Bakersfield carrot farmer [and Bolthouse Farms owner] William Bolthouse donated $100,000 to an initiative aiming to fight gay marriage — a measure that will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot along with the presidential race. The initiative qualified for the ballot Monday, less than a month after the state Supreme Court overturned a ban on gay marriage. June 17 marks the date when California counties will be permitted to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples….
I’ve already taken the liberty of writing the company and reminding them that just as Mr. Bolthouse is entitled to his opinions, I’m entitled to switch to another brand until that asshat comes to his senses. Perhaps you would like to do the same?
