I quit buying from his company in March of last year. He hasn’t learned a thing. More customers will see him for what he is, and go elsewhere. The good news is that there are many great spice companies. My post and email to him then:

Penzeys Shows Me its True Colors
3/4/2015
Frangibled to All:

This is not the first time I have seen the owner of Penzey’s preach his views to his customers. The first was a very radical pro-gay message via email, and in his catalogs. Here is my email to Bill Penzey after receiving his email today:

“Dear Mr. Penzey,

We love your products. Have purchased them for years, sent them as gifts, etc.

I defend your right to your opinion. I do not appreciate you using your customer base for a soap box. This is the second time I’ve seen you do this. I don’t like it.

Are you prepared to lose 50% your customers? Half of America disagrees with you. You have worked hard to be a successful business; remember, you are not the only spice source. “Love people, cook them tasty food” does not mean shove your political views down our throats.”
