KINDIN’ and Rhymin’

Published under KIND Snacks Mar 28, 2012

This week we received some love from poetic KINDAHOLICS:

Dear Daniel,
I ate this bar
And went out of my mind!!
It was not your average sort
But one of a KIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (YEA!!!!!)
I ran to my computer!!!!!!
Time couldn’t be wasted!!!!!!!
It was ABSOLUTELY
THE BEST THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lisa and I
HAD EVER TASTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for HEALTHY!!!!!!!!
DELICIOUS!!!!!!!   and       PURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever we snack,
It’s KIND FOR SURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can keep your shrimp scampi
And your filet mignon!!
Lisa and I will remain in heaven
Till the last KIND BAR IS GONE !!!!!!!!!!!!! (WHICH WE HOPE IS NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
     Love,
     Ted and Lisa

And I bet they weren’t expecting this response from Daniel!

Dear Ted and Lisa,
Your poem filled our team with joy
And made me break a big smile.
What else can an entrepreneur ask for
Than a loyal consumer with style.
You are clearly KINDAHOLICS who recognize quality
So we’ll send you two t-shirts with pleasure
Just please indicate to our friend Tony
What size to send, share your measure.

-Daniel

Paul McCartney has been a strong and steady voice in support of OneVoice and its efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.  In 2009 Sir Paul wrote a letter to President Obama to notify him of OneVoice’s work, and Sir Paul currently lists OneVoice at the top of his list of supported charities.  We’re honored to be joined by Sir Paul in our efforts and are inspired by the way he uses his talents to bring people together.

The Healthiest Foods on Earth

Published under Health, KIND Snacks Mar 23, 2012

This Forbes article praises the philosophy that’s baked into each and every of KIND’s products.   Studies show that eating foods that are close to nature, or as we like to say “made from ingredients you can see and pronounce,” are central to a healthy diet, and fruit and nuts are top scorers in this pursuit!

At an evening reception at Howard Schultz’s home on the occasion of Starbucks’ inspiring Annual Shareholders Meeting, I asked Arthur Rubinfeld on what advice he could give me to instill the right work ethic and values on my children. I was struck by a quote he hung as a poster in his kids’ rooms:

The harder you work
The luckier you get

Former UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband attended a OneVoice gala dinner in London earlier this week and made it clear that he feels it’s crucial to establish a Palestinian state alongside a secure state of Israel- anything less would be a great “diplomatic failure.”  The former Foreign Secretary went on to state that “It’s the greatest diplomatic failure because actually it is one of those international problems to which there is a viable solution.”  To read the full transcript, see below, or watch this video:

This video contains a sweet message about peace that is very similar to OneVoice’s Imagine 2018 campaign.
