I stopped buying from Penzeys because I was offended by the owner combining his strong political views with his spice business. I now get my spices on-line from his sister's business, The Spice House. I have had an excellent experience with The Spice House and I like some of their products better than Penzeys, in addition to no mention, ever, about politics. I don't care what political views a person has. I just don't want to hear about another person's political views when I am their customer, buying their products.
