I like that Penzeys is making such a bold political statement. The conventional wisdom is to avoid partisan political subjects in the conduct of business - especially a business (spices) that has very little intersection with left-right political discussion. I hope Penzeys doesn't suffer any of the violent retribution from the right that can happen in these fraught times.
