That's Bob Rodale spinning in his grave. There are so many things wrong with this report that the details would exceed the OP but 'organic' tea bottled by Coca-Cola and distributed nationally discussed without sarcasm at a conference in Boulder is about as far from Rodale's vision as you could get.

The first thing you do to destroy your enemies is corrupt their language. It's like salting the soil what they did to the word 'organic.'

Put the Carbon Back

When I talked to Honest Tea people at a trade show, they said that it wasn't think glass-bottled product we'd get in gas stations or vending machines, it was new products in plastic. Which, based on the products I've now seen, are downmarket. Honestkids is a sweetened capri-sun ish juicebox for example. So to me it seem sthey entered into this deal to sell new and not very good plastic encased things to the average consumer with the "honest" label.
