REPOSTED From Steve's PaleoGoods Blog:
STEVE.
That’s my name and we put it on the products we make here at Steve’s PaleoGoods.
We don’t do it because I’m an ego-maniac or because I’m in love with the sound of it. I don’t label everything in my house or my office as “Steve’s” like “Steve’s desk” or “Steve’s chair” or “Steve’s car.” (That would be really weird, right?)
But over ten years ago, I started Steve’s PaleoGoods, I decided to put my name on the label because I’m proud of who we are and the mission we’re leading.
That promise is on every meat stick, every ShareBar, every bottle of sauceand every bag of dried fruit.
But what exactly am I promising?
I’m promising that what you hold in your hand is:
And I’m guaranteeing that 15% of your purchase price goes to help underserved youth at Steve’s Clubsaround the nation.
I’m promising that when you bite into a meat stick or you pour yourself a bowl of grain-free granola, you’re tasting something simple and good for you.
I want you to know that every time you open a box from us or you find our products on the shelf at Whole Foods, that there’s a guy named Steve standing with a bunch of hard-working adults and teens in Camden, New Jersey, and we’re trying to make the best food we can.
It’s not a glamorous job. It’s not the most exciting profession in the world. But it’s honest and true and real and it makes a difference.
I’m Steve. This is my food. I’m proud of it and I hope you enjoy it.

make sure you hands are clean!”

The greatest discovery any outsider could make about Camden is it's overriding response to failure: If it didn’t work last year, do it AGAIN this year (and if possible do it MORE).
Every year they pass more laws, hire more police, build more prisons, and sentence more offenders for longer periods-all without moving one inch closer to “ending” crime. If it didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they spend more money on schools, hoping to “fix” whatever’s wrong with them, and every year the schools remain stubbornly unfixed. Spending money didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they try to make the criminals go away, and every year they remain with us. We couldn’t shoehorn these criminals back into the “the mainstream” last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Maybe its time to TRY something DIFFERENT.
Afterall, IF Camden is saved, it will not be saved by old minds with new programs but by new minds with no programs at all.
Much of my inspiration comes from Daniel Quinn in "Ishmael."
