Ben & Jerry's is among the companies whose supply chains utilize migrant child labor, often in violation of child labor laws, despite the company's self-proclaimed progressive values and vowing to "honor and stand with" immigrants.
A New York Times expose, released earlier this week, interviewed more than 100 migrant children in more than 20 states "who described jobs that were grinding them into exhaustion, and fears that they had become trapped in circumstances they never could have imagined." The report detailed children as young as 13 working 12-hour days, often overnight shifts before going to school during the day, in order to survive.
The report said migrant children are employed in the supply chain for major companies like Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Ford, General Motors and Ben & Jerry's, among others.

On top of this Ben and Jerry have not given the land their headquarters is on in Vermont to a local Aboriginal tribe.

I used to LOVE this ice cream but I haven't bought from that brand in years because of their retarded politics.

I believe the parent company, Unilever will eventually clamp down on Ben and Jerry's influence on that particular subsidiary.
And here is why political activism is a terrible ice cream flavour.
Unilever stock lost about $2 billion in market capitalization amid calls to boycott Ben & Jerry's ice cream after the company posted a Fourth of July message saying the United States should hand Mount Rushmore over to Native Americans.
Shares of Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch multinational company, dropped about 0.5 percent on Friday, 0.8 percent on Thursday, and 0.5 the previous day. It's not clear if the drop was due to the calls to boycott Ben & Jerry's, which has been owned by Unilever since 2000.
It all started when the Vermont-based ice cream company wrote that "this 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it," before it posted a link to a blog post asserting that the United States hand back the famed national monument with four presidents to native tribal assets.
The Meta company has reportedly spent millions of dollars for private security for Mark Zuckerberg. At the same time, the Facebook founder's foundation has allegedly funneled millions to groups dead-set on defunding the police.

Protection for me, but not for thee.
Leonardo Do Caprio is reportedly in Italy — more specifically, the waters near the Italian shore – where he is vacationing on his yacht, as celebrities do.
For visits to the countryside, whether it be lunch or dinner or a nightclub, DiCaprio reportedly hops on a helicopter while aboard his luxury liner and heads to land — and back, of course.
La dolce vita at the expense of the environment? What would fellow celebrity climate activist Greta Thunberg say?
DiCaprio's shore excursions are short and anything but green, making his speeches about reducing carbon emissions all the more sanctimonious.
On the rare occasion I have ice cream I get a malt or milkshake at Handel's. The boys have been trying to get me to take them to Classic's Malt Shop on Midway though. My wife swears by Salt & Straw.
There is a Baskin Robbins near our house but not even the youngest has wanted to go there for the last three years. He calls it cheap ice cream that isn't as creamy as the good stuff.

No woke flavours of Ben & Jerry for you.

E-waste is a big problem. But, it will pale in comparison to the waste from wind and solar panels that only last about fifteen years compared to a natural gas power plant that will last at least five decades. And then there is the coming eco nightmare of unrecycled e-car batteries.

The limousine and luxury-suite lifestyle of our oblivious, rapacious leadership
Increasingly strapped Canadians have a right to expect those at the top of the order of precedence will lead by example

It speaks to the culture of spending that pervades official Ottawa that nobody saw anything wrong with spending $71,000 on limousine services when the Governor General visited Iceland for four days last year, even though much of the program took place half a kilometre from Mary Simon's hotel in Reykjavik.
One of the main topics under discussion at the Arctic Circle Assembly was the need to cut emissions to fight climate change. You can rely on Rideau Hall to provide comedy gold.
As Franco Terrazzano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation rightly said, it would have been cheaper for the government to buy a brand-new BMW, use it for the duration of the trip and, then leave it outside the airport with the keys in it when Her Excellency left the country.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry was forced to reveal his use of private flights since assuming the role of the United States special presidential envoy for climate, as he struggled to remember exactly how many times he has done so in an official capacity.
Kerry answered questions during a congressional committee hearing, when he spoke to Republican Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida and raised the topic of private flights himself, according to the New York Post. Kerry called the idea that he flies around the world privately a "persistent lie" and explained that he doesn't "own a private jet," adding that he's "personally never owned a private jet."
Kerry appeared to be dismissing the reality that his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, owned a jet as recently as 2022. The jet was sold due to criticism against the family, according to the Washington Examiner, which reported in February 2023 that Kerry's State Department spokeswoman, Whitney Smith, said, "I can confirm the plane previously owned by his wife's family was sold last summer."
After Waltz reminded Kerry of the reports, Kerry admitted, "Yes, my wife owned a plane."
"You've flown on that plane?" Waltz asked.
"Not in a number of years," Kerry replied.
"When we are asking Americans to make serious sacrifices as we transition for the common good, and your family and yourself are flying around on private jets, that smacks of hypocrisy," the Republican continued.
