    Better not to eat it anyway.

    There’s nothing wrong with canned foods due to the canning process, it’s the crap they put in the cans that’s bad for you.

    Companies that process food are always looking for ways to increase profit. The cheaper the ingredients–both as raw stock, and the cost of paying workers, shipping, etc.–the higher the profit. It’s no surprise they use literal slave labor in any country where they can get away with it. They know it’s happening, they just don’t care.

      I was amazed when Campbell’s came out with their line of low-salt soups. The can was slightly smaller, the soup wasn’t condensed (so you didn’t add a can of water to it), and it cost twice as much. You’re paying over four times as much as normal just for them to not put as much salt in the soup in the first place.

    Time to boycott Campbell’s. For this and for their recent illegal dumping scandal. That’s why Campbell soups are urk, urk crap!

    After hearing him talk about their meat honestly… I don’t think I’ll ever eat another can of Campbell’s soup again. I already nearly stopped simply by virtue of buying organic alternatives. Every time Campbell’s comes up with an ‘upscale’ versions of their soups they taste like shit. It’s telling that their cheapest product tastes best.

    If we could only hear the goings on behind the scenes at every large company that stocks food on our pantry shelves. I’m sure we’d be a healthier nation. Ah, who am I kidding…

      Not defending Campbell’s or the VP here, but I think people are being too puritanical about artificial meat. It’s just fuel for our bodies. I’d be concerned about other additives, preservatives, or hormones in it. But if some meat printer can lay out strands of protein, isn’t that preferable to killing animals?

    I actually did purchase a reasonable amount of Campbell’s stocks in the past. (Broth, not company stock)

    Won’t be purchasing any more, I’ll pay the bit extra for Maggie Beer stocks instead which as a plus are locally owned.

    Won’t be purchasing any Campbells products at all moving forward.

      Btw, Maggie is owned by Nestlé which is inarguably one of the most evil corporations in the world.

      Its difficult to find non shitty brands because of this parent company situation. I only recently found out about Maggie. No more for me.

        You are thinking of Maggi.

        Maggie Beer (That’s her name) is a South Australian chef-turned-TV-personality that runs a small foods company.

    Aaaaaand we never bought it anyway, we just have more reasons now to ever buy it in the future

    When it comes to big companies like these, never forgive, never forget. Let then go bankrupt and make place for smaller companies that give a fuck

    In it, a speaker identified as Bally is heard saying, “We have sh.t for f…king poor people. Who buys our sh.t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f…k‘s in it.”

    He also referenced “bioengineered meat,” saying, “I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”

      🤣 Telling it like it actually is. It’s less expensive to make your own, homemade soup and you get more meals out of it.

      Bake a chicken and put lots of veggies around it. We use potatoes, broccoli, onions and red peppers. Brush melted, real butter if you can.

      Eat and enjoy for 1 - 3 meals, depending on how many people are eating.

      Save the bones and put in a large pot with water. Boil it for about a 40 minutes. Let it cool, strain it, and then freeze small portions of it. Now you have chicken broth ready. Add milk or cream when you’re heating it back up for a different taste if you’re bored.

        This is the way. But all bones of any meat you eat should be saved for soup broth. Whole chicken is especially useful in this manner, because there are lots of little scraps of meat leftover with whole chicken that fall off the bone and into the soup when boiling the bones to make the base.

      You can only eat a small amount of tuna due to bioaccumulation of mercury and other junk. Once a month or less.

      Sad. I love tuna.

      Imagine - this isn’t really going to affect the guys ability to survive. Maybe he won’t be able to afford a second yacht or something, but he’ll still make unfathomably more than most of us will ever make, despite being a fucking moron and a cruel person. There is no meritocracy in the C-suite.

    The way things have been going lately, I would absolutely love to see Ted Cruz choose this to grow a spine on, and just absolutely goes off on Campbell’s.

    The 10,000 roaches in a Rafael suit~ totally normal human Ted Cruz loves Campbells

    When I married Ted, we got back from our honeymoon, and he went off to the store and came home by himself. And I was completely shocked to see that he arrived back at our apartment with literally 100 cans of Campbell’s Chunky soup. I never bought 100 of anything.

    This was shocking to me, so we had a tough conversation about it. I said, “You don’t buy 100 of anything, much less canned soup. We can’t do this. I’ll be making things.” He said, “No, I know you. You won’t be making things.”

    So the next morning, it was a weekend morning, I loaded up our car before he woke up and returned every single can. And when I got home, I called my mother just to make sure I’d done the right thing as a newlywed. And she emphatically disagreed with me. And so when Ted opened the pantry, I had to quickly tell him that I would go back and buy those cans again.

      It’s just so nice when couples can support each other in their quest to systematically destroy the social safety net of an entire nation. Brings tears to your eyes
