60. We need one here in Oregon for New Seasons to stop carrying them as well.

There are too many Eden brand cans of food on the shelves here. I have to admit I earlier bought Caribbean rice and Cajun rice as I like that kind of food and wish they would pick up more Zatarains or something of the like instead. Winco stopped carrying Zatarain's frozen dinners and noone else carries them around here. Haven't checked to see if Winco has carried Eden foods or not, but if they do, perhaps they would also be a good target to participate being in the boycott, being an employee owned store where I'm sure there would be more votes to support boycotts of anti-employee rights being practiced by the likes of Eden Food and Hobby Lobby.
