DescriptionBen Cohen, who along with Jerry Greenfield founded Ben & Jerry's Homemade ice cream in Burlington, Vt., said Friday that he's supporting Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich for president.


Calling himself a Vermonter, entrepreneur, Grateful Dead fan and longtime peace advocate, Cohen said only Kucinich represents the values most important to him.


"While others discuss incremental change, only Dennis Kucinich advocates changing the way our government is run in order to reflect the values of America's people," Cohen said.


Cohen added that his endorsement was an individual decision and does not "imply that there will soon be an ice cream flavor named Kucinich Kreme."
