In February 2013 big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones signed on as an ambassador for American Pistachio Growers. Now, backcountry impresario is adding Vermont Peanut Butter to his ambassador mix.
“I am very excited to be involved with the Vermont Peanut Butter Company from the ground floor,” Jones says. “I told Chris I probably eat more peanut butter than anyone I know, it’s a super food that keeps me alive in the mountains and at home. Chris and I share the same passion for authenticity, and being healthy, and I think what he has done with a category that has been stale for years is amazing. This is the perfect opportunity for me to use my skills to help grow The VTPB Endorsed Athlete Program, a challenge that I will take on like any big mountain.”
This is one more reminder that professional athletes don’t have to sell out to companies promoting poison that makes kids fat and gives them diabetes 2. Thanks, Mr. Jones. For the official word, follow the jump.
