Status: True.

Wish I'd known about this in 2002. The wife would not have got Body Shop products for Christmas as she did in that year and in 2003. Now it's guaranteed that there'll be no shopping there for Christmas 2004.
They're lice farmers, and make no secret of it.

Darn. I really like their Ylang Ylang massage oil.
Yeah, gonna have to find a substitute for their hemp hand cream.
Looks like I'll never set foot in a Body Shop again. I have some of their products at home.
I've never heard the term "lice farmer" before, however. Although I did start feeling kinda itchy while browsing through their website...
This is just a big misunderstanding...What they really said was that the Palestinian terrorists needed to TAKE a bath!
Gawd, how politically incorrect I am. And I stereotype!
Read the link and I do not see what the big deal is.
Thanks. Yes, my skin was crawling. I had stated that I had some of their products - I was wrong. I just checked - what I have is Bath and Body Works products. I have NO idea what their social philosphy is. But I'm happy that I don't have Body Shop products in my bathroom.
The Body Shop giving money to an organization trying to destroy the state of Israel? That's a pretty BFD to me...
I believe you. Trolls usually fall down on the same side of terrorists..
dang. We're all going to have to find another source for Chamomile Yoga Body Peel Aromatherapy Masque'.
Body shop is a scam. Overpriced Jergens in pretty bottles.
