The Hippie Hobby Lobby: Eden Foods Says No to Birth Control

Here are two companies you don’t often read about together: Hobby Lobby and Eden Foods.

Hobby Lobby is currently known as the arts-and-crafts chain run by the Greens, an evangelical Christian family in Oklahoma who successfully challenged the contraception requirement of the Affordable Care Act. Eden Foods calls itself the oldest natural and organic food company in North America. Chances are that if you buy organic food, you’ve bought Eden’s soy milk, beans, or pasta. The company, which started as a food co-op, is owned and run by Michael Potter, a practicing Catholic who similarly doesn’t want to provide birth control to his employees.
