I recently called out an example of the "bad" in a post related to a corporation and their misleading commitment to health and wellness.  Now it's time to call out a "good" example.  In fact, this is going to become a regular posting, which explores people, companies and issues that we feel represent positive (good) impact, negative (bad); and yes there are certainly those which are just plain old ugly too.

As my wife and I continue along in our Vegan lifestyle, there has been more and more exploration of alternative products to satisfy/replace non-vegan products.  Pizza/non-dairy cheese is on that list, chocolate was on that list...and let's not forget ice cream!

Fortunately, there are many choices in the ice cream category...you have soy based, coconut milk based, almond milk based and rice milk.  However, it was one specific container which caught my eyes in the freezer section of Whole Foods recently...a pint of rice based ice cream from the brand "Good Karma" foods.  Although I do love the name...that isn't what grabbed my attention.  It was the flavor...carrot cake. (carnivore, vegetarian, vegan...anyone would likely love the taste)

This little pint was also one of the lesser priced, so I grabbed it quickly and headed to the checkout.  That evening, we tried it.  As the kids and texters say "OMG"!  It was unreal, even had little chunks of carrot cake in the ice cream...you would have thought I was digging for diamonds hidden in the bowl.

I have already tried Mud Pie and have a pint of Mint just waiting for us in the freezer...although I have hidden it in the back so the kids don't find it first.

Of course,  I had to find out more about this product and what other products Good Karma Foods might have to offer.  I quickly found their website the next day and submitted my email for more information, news, etc.  While visiting the site, I also learned more about the company itself.  Here are some of the high points in our eyes:

First, their products are 

• Organic
• Dairy Free
• Gluten Free
• Vegan
• Kosher
• Supports Green Farming
• Lactose Free
• Trans Fat Free

Additionally, their mission statement and "green" initiatives really do appear to support a corporate commitment to bettering health, wellness and our world.  (For us, Good Karma™ means “positive outcomes that come from  positive energies focused for good purpose.”)

Finally, I was further impressed when not only did I receive a response from my email sign up submission form, but a personal response from someone in customer service...they are even sending me some coupons to thank me for visiting and my interest...can you believe that!  Thanking me, no...thank you Good Karma.
