I wanted to calm down from primary stress. Browsing through
the grocery store dairy case for solace, I found a rather unusual
pint of ice cream. First off the packaging was actually tastful.
But what really made my spirit soar, was the word ORGANIC.
It's called Green & Blacks. My pint was yummy vanilla with
strawberry swirl.
After wolfing down nearly a pint, I urged our grocer to get more
flavors -peanut butter chocolate especially.
Green and Black's says they will be coming out with Low Fat soon.
But the best thing is, according to Tree Hugger:
"Most of the chocolate is bought from the Conocado Cooperative in The Dominican Republic (registered with TransFair and certified under the USDA National Organic program (NOP), by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF)). Unlike plantation-grown cocoa, Green & Black’s farmers grow their beans under the shade of the indigenous rainforest trees alongside other crops like avocado, pineapple, coffee, papaya and bananas. A canopy of shade trees – mahogany, cedar and teak – are grown above, and ginger is occasionally grown underneath. This biodiversity means that the cocoa is more resistant to disease and the crops are not sprayed, so the river water stays clean, which helps preserve the habitat for wildlife."

This stuff is so good, it will get even Obamamites and Hillbots billing and cooing.
