Founded in Burlington, VA, the place where I was told on my first day at the University of Vermont that "there are more cows here than people," the famous Ben & Jerry's ice cream was started in 1977 by two guys in a renovated gas station. From the cups and cones the brand serves to t-shirts to the huge factory in Waterbury, VT, everything is covered with adorable cartoon cows, and B&J's pints of creamy ice cream filled with its signature chunks of chocolate, cake, and cookies are anything but dairy free.

It's an ethical company, though, from its use of fair-trade ingredients and certified humanely raised eggs to its support of GMO labeling and Caring Dairy [1] to its responsibly sourced packaging. So one couple, Jenny Foy and Doug Reed, can't believe Ben & Jerry's doesn't offer a vegan line of ice creams. While the company does have three fruity sorbets — come on! — those hardly compare to the decadently dreamy Cherry Garcia or Salted Caramel Blondie. Jenny and Doug have even started a petition to let Ben & Jerry's know they want nondairy options [2]. Do you agree?
