8/25/13 Current Event

In an August 12, 2013 article titled Juiced Up, Clare O'Connor tells the story of Irwin Simon, the CEO of Hain Celestial.  Simon's health food corporation Hain Celestial bought up small natural-food companies.  Along with his connection to the Whole Foods Health Food Stores and his corporation's size, the companies that he has bought now can grow larger than before.  Hain has created over 4,000 jobs in the state of New York in the last twenty years.  Simon is also providing many healthy products for consumers.  I admire Hain Celestial's actions because they are producing great products and jobs that benefit the community as a whole.
