I was eating some ice cream and decided to read the back of the tub, as you do. The first thing I came across - "We get our brownies from a bakery in New York that helps the homeless get work skills." Am I a dick for being slightly put off by that? The thought of a group of homeless people making brownies doesn't really appeal to me. It's admirable that they work with the homeless by working with that bakery, but 'kin 'ell. Would you be happy eating food made by homeless people?
Brownies baked by the homeless?? Hmm, can I get back to you on that after I throw out all the brownies in the house? The homeless should be picked up, taken outside the cities and placed in compounds. Then ....when the liberal, doo-gooders begin to complain, they should make/force the liberal doo-gooders take at least one homeless individual or pay something like $5/day for his upkeep. After that happened a few times, how many people would openly proclaim how much they cared???? We all claim to care, don't we? But we don't want to do anything ourselves, we want/expect someone else to do it for us ......and when they don't do it the way we like or want, we also love, LOVE, to bitch n' moan about it. Ten thousand years from now, archeologists are going to dig around and their first conclusion is ...."Wow, these fuckin' people sure liked to bitch a lot, huh?" ...LOL! Baron Max
If I read that statement... to me I would have interpreted it as "we make brownies at a bakery that donates money to an organization that teaches work skills to the local homeless." Eh. Maybe you are right?
Perhaps. I hadn't done any investigation. It seems they're involved with training people with AIDs/HIV, too. http://www.benjerry.com/our_company/about_us/social_mission/social_audits/2005_sear/sear05_4.3.cfm From the bakery's own site, it seems that they employ anyone. I'd say they make the food, too. http://www.greystonbakery.com/about.php?page=story

Greyston is a fantasctic place. I'm planning on getting my wedding cake from there. They don't go into alley ways and subways looking for dirty old homeless men to dig their hands into the food! They hire clean, respectable people, teach them a great, marketable skill and put out a fantastic product. They also donate a great deal to the community. It was founded by Bernard Tetsugen Glassman, a master Zen Buddhist and a great guy. My girlfriend currently works for the guy who was one of his top students and helped him found the bakery. I encourage anyone who lives in the NYC area and is planning on needing any wonderful bakery products to look into Greyston. Go there. Get a sample. Judge them fairly against other bakeries before making a decision.
