Dangerous Ideas

I just learned that Pom Wonderful needlessly kills animals for marketing. They pay labs to create health problems in animals then to feed them pomegranate juice to see if they get better. What the heck?!? How is this a good idea? I used to think that Pom was a cool alternative juice company, and now I’ve found out they’re worse than mainstream companies like Welch’s and Oceanspray (which used to fund animal testing but have since seen the light). Another reminder that just because something’s sold in natural foods stores doesn’t mean that it isn’t evil. Caring Consumer/PETA have a page up that lists juice manufacturers that don’t experiment on animals.

Next time I got to my local grocery store, Rainbow Grocery, I’ll ask if they’ll consider pulling Pom until the company reconsiders. If people complain, maybe they’ll realize this was an incredibly bad move.
