Eden Foods, the organic food company that makes canned tomatoes, canned beans, soymilk and much more, is suing the Obama administration over the Affordable Care Act.Company CEO Michael Potter says birth control is not natural, and his company should not be required to offer it through their employee health plan.

(The ACA requires health insurers to cover the cost of birth control at no cost to women. The Catholic Church did not want to offer its female employees birth control so an exemption was negotiated for religious organizations. The insurance companies will offer additional contraception-only plans to the employees of these institutions. If you managed to avoid this ridiculous story the first time around, you can read about the birth control controversy here.)
Eden Foods wants an exemption from having to offer birth control, the lawsuit says, because birth control "almost always involve(s) immoral and unnatural practices."
Hmm. Wonder if they think the same thing about Viagra.
Something to remember when choosing which brand of canned tomatoes to buy.
