  <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Shameless exploitation has never been more fun nor done more good for more people than when done by Newman&#8217;s Own&#8212;the first green food company to use all-natural ingredients, and still the most successful. <br/></strong><br/>It was 1982 when Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner made their foray into local gourmet shops with bottles of their homemade salad dressing. The venture was intended to be a lark, a way to poke fun at the traditional way the market operates. Hurdling obstacle after obstacle, they created the first company to mass-market all-natural products, eliminating the chemicals, gums, and preservatives that existed in food at the time. This picaresque saga is the inspiring story of how the two friends parlayed the joke into a multimillion-dollar company that gives <em>all</em> its profits to the less fortunate without spending money on galas, mailings, and other expensive outreaches. It also serves as a textbook for foundations and charitable organizations looking to do the most good they can with what they have.<br/><br/>Told in alternating voices, Newman and Hotchner have written a zany tale that is a business model for entrepreneurs, an inspirational book, and just plain delightful reading.</p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[A fascinating and humorous view of the history of &quot;Newman's Own&quot;, so far. If you have an interest in Paul Newman, food, or philanthropy, this is an easy read that endears me to Paul Newman &amp; A.E. Hotchner more fully than prior to reading this book.  I highly recommend it!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am not big on non-fiction books. I get bored so quickly by the who, where's, &amp; whys. But this book was so great! I was so entertained and inspired by the Paul Newman &amp; Hotch's story of being stand up guys in the messed up world of mass marketing food. I buy Paul Newman products as much as possible...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51634842">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<p><strong>Shameless exploitation has never been more fun nor done more good for more people than when done by Newman&#8217;s Own&#8212;the first green food company to use all-natural ingredients, and still the most successful. <br/></strong><br/>It was 1982 when Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner made their foray into local gourmet shops with bottles of their homemade salad dressing. The venture was intended to be a lark, a way to poke fun at the traditional way the market operates. Hurdling obstacle after obstacle, they created the first company to mass-market all-natural products, eliminating the chemicals, gums, and preservatives that existed in food at the time. This picaresque saga is the inspiring story of how the two friends parlayed the joke into a multimillion-dollar company that gives <em>all</em> its profits to the less fortunate without spending money on galas, mailings, and other expensive outreaches. It also serves as a textbook for foundations and charitable organizations looking to do the most good they can with what they have.<br/><br/>Told in alternating voices, Newman and Hotchner have written a zany tale that is a business model for entrepreneurs, an inspirational book, and just plain delightful reading.</p>]]>

E. Hotchner made their foray into local gourmet shops with bottles of their homemade salad dressing. The venture was intended to be a lark, a way to poke fun at the traditional way the market operates. Hurdling obstacle after obstacle, they created the first company to mass-market all-natural products, eliminating the chemicals, gums, and preservatives that existed in food at the time. This picaresque saga is the inspiring story of how the two friends parlayed the joke into a multimillion-dollar company that gives <em>all</em> its profits to the less fortunate without spending money on galas, mailings, and other expensive outreaches. It also serves as a textbook for foundations and charitable organizations looking to do the most good they can with what they have.<br/><br/>Told in alternating voices, Newman and Hotchner have written a zany tale that is a business model for entrepreneurs, an inspirational book, and just plain delightful reading.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p><strong>Shameless exploitation has never been more fun nor done more good for more people than when done by Newman&#8217;s Own&#8212;the first green food company to use all-natural ingredients, and still the most successful. <br/></strong><br/>It was 1982 when Paul Newman and A. E. Hotchner made their foray into local gourmet shops with bottles of their homemade salad dressing. The venture was intended to be a lark, a way to poke fun at the traditional way the market operates. Hurdling obstacle after obstacle, they created the first company to mass-market all-natural products, eliminating the chemicals, gums, and preservatives that existed in food at the time. This picaresque saga is the inspiring story of how the two friends parlayed the joke into a multimillion-dollar company that gives <em>all</em> its profits to the less fortunate without spending money on galas, mailings, and other expensive outreaches. It also serves as a textbook for foundations and charitable organizations looking to do the most good they can with what they have.<br/><br/>Told in alternating voices, Newman and Hotchner have written a zany tale that is a business model for entrepreneurs, an inspirational book, and just plain delightful reading.</p>]]>
