Is worth making a choice not to support this this Seven day Adventist company until they start paying tax.

Despite the much-publicised Marmite drought, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has reported a lift in annual sales for its New Zealand-based businesses, which include Sanitarium, the spread’s manufacturer. The church does not disclose financial results for Sanitarium alone, but the Royal Oak-based food manufacturer’s revenue is included in accounts the church lodges annually with the Charities Register for its “Group One” entities.Those entities – which in addition to Sanitarium include Avondale-based Life Health Food, the manufacturer of brands including Lisa’s and Naked Organics, and the Bethesda retirement village in South Auckland – reported total revenue of $182.1 million for the year to June 30, 2012, up 10 per cent on the previous year.

Seventhday Adventists believe that sexual intimacy belongs only within the marital relationship of a man and a woman. This was the design established by God at creation. The Scriptures declare: “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh” (Gen 2:24, NIV). Throughout Scripture this heterosexual pattern is affirmed. The Bible makes no accommodation for homosexual activity or relationships. Sexual acts outside the circle of a heterosexual marriage are forbidden (Lev 18:5-23, 26; Lev 20:721; Rom 1:2427; 1 Cor 6:911). Jesus Christ reaffirmed the divine creation intent: “‘Haven’t you read,’ he replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator “made them male and female,” and said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?” So they are no longer two, but one’” (Matt 19:46, NIV). For these reasons Seventh-day Adventists are opposed to homosexual practices and relationships.
