What Miyoko’s Creamery lawsuit alleges Miyoko Schinner did

February 21, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

& what a few other good lawyers think of the case             SONOMA,  California––Perhaps the most surprising part of Miyoko’s PBC vs. Miyoko Schinner,  the lawsuit filed on February 16,  2022 by Miyoko’s Creamery against the ousted founder of the company,  is the demand for a jury trial.

Miyoko’s Creamery sues Miyoko Schinner for allegedly stealing recipes

February 20, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

Would Miyoko’s Creamery exist without Miyoko Schinner’s recipes?             SONOMA,  California––Perhaps the only dairy product for which Miyoko’s Creamery founder Miyoko Schinner,  65,  never tried to develop a vegan alternative was bullshit. Post-Miyoko,  however,  the Miyoko’s Creamery management team who ousted her appears to be moving fast to corner the market on vegan bullshit. On […]

How Miyoko Schinner got the same shaft as Paul Watson

February 19, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

With vegan grease (See also Canned Miyoko: the ballad of Jon Blair & Miyoko Schinner.) The recent ouster of Miyoko’s Creamery founder Miyoko Schinner from the vegan food company she founded in 2014 will come as no surprise to longtime Australian vegan activist Phil Wollen. Indeed,  Wollen,  also a former Sea Shepherd Conservation Society crew […]
