Not so strange. "Newman's Own" started with salad dressing and with
the objective of donating profits to charity. They then branched out
and formed "Newman's Own Organics" with the same objective, and now the
Organics division has included produce. I have no clue whether their
organic produce will be good or fairly priced, but in my opinion their
record is good and their (quasi-corporate) heart's in the right
place..... -aem
