Ben & Jerry’s Cofounder Leaves Over Ice Cream Activism Freezeout
After 47 years of spooning peace and justice together, Ben & Jerry’s cofounder Jerry Greenfield took a startling new flavor leave of absence by resigning from the company. The parent company Unilever, apparently allergic to social activism, iced the brand’s legendary advocacy, leaving Jerry feeling his foundational values melted away. Imagine curing injustice in a pint only to be told 'thanks but shut up' by corporate overlords! This chilly power play from a giant conglomerate silenced the unicorn scoop’s outspoken scoopers, making 47 years of activism seem like a very long and very cold potluck.
