Sounds like selling out to a soulless corporation wasn't what it seemed. They lied to Jerry and now he's had to leave.

1. That's a shame

I recall when Ben & Jerry's was taken over, Unilever was regarded as a fairly progressive in its environmentally friendly packaging, ingredients, and sourcing. Unilever was the parent since the 1920s of the former Lever Bros. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_Brothers

2. I just had some B and J's last night!

Damn.

3. Corporations don't want to be socially conscious anymore

With the Far Right targeting any corporation with a moral compass, board rooms just want to not rock the boat. It's sad.
