Theo Albrecht, the billionaire behind Trader Joe’s, has died. Seems like a good time to mention the chain’s unprecedented list of vegan foods [PDF], which was updated just this past April. Hoist a glass of Two Buck Chuck merlot in Albrecht’s memory. Link.
Update: Mahi Klosterhalfen emailed me:
[Albrecht was also] the first one to drop battery cage eggs in Germany (because the Albert Schweitzer Foundation convinced him to do so back in 2003.)
