Buy Arla; Support Freedom of Expression

In many news reports, I learned that one prominent Danish Company, Arla Foods, has been been singled out by some of the intolerant extremists for their boycott.

I wrote the company, asking for the names of their products and where I could buy them.

I just received an email answering that question and reproduce it below. I'd encourage you to print out this blog post and take it shopping with you. I am going to do that today.
