Nothing about Sweet Leaf is heroic. They don't respect people's work or effort and they steal intellectual property. They are just a bunch of corrupt corporate douche bags much like the leaders of any other big name corporate brand. This is an excellent move on Clayton's part, and well done walking on the backs of the people who wanted to help Sweet Leaf Tea get there. He'll fit in well.</p> http://austinist.com/2009/03/26/sweet_leaf_tea_going_national_gets.php#comment-1622665 http://austinist.com/2009/03/26/sweet_leaf_tea_going_national_gets.php#comment-1622665 Comments Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:21:52 -0600 <p>That sucks. Nestle is the same company working to destroy Mt Shasta in Northern California (the State of Jefferson). They plan on destroying the headwaters of the Sacramento river by sucking it dry at its source. Now our local heroes? Here's to hoping the good of Sweet Leaf leaks into the corporate culture of Nestle...</p>
