It's depressing as hell that a company like Nestle was allowed to buy a company like Roundtree.

It's a reminder that no matter what a company's founder's principles are as soon as it goes public it's a target to have all that reversed by people with no principles at all.

At least Roundtree's foundation survives.

Upvoted your comment because it’s so true. The Quakers have a great tradition of setting up ethical enterprises. I mostly know Rowntree because of the chocolate but I also remember the family came to Ireland during the Great Famine to provide relief to the victims of racist British “laissez faire” economics.

By the way, the name is spelled “Rowntree” (I also used to think the first syllable was “round”).
