All
you fans of nondairy whipped topping should take a moment. Robert E. Rich, the New York dairy farmer who invented
nondairy whipped topping from soybeans in 1945 recently died at the age of 92. According to an obituary
in the LA Times, Rich began experimenting with nondairy alternatives because dairy products were being re-routed to U.S.
soldiers during World War II. Rich's Whip Topping, as the product was called, was a success, in part, because it could
be frozen, unlike dairy-based whipped toppings. He was the first to be inducted into the National Frozen Food Industry
