Glad to hear the remarks of a reasoned person.

Heinz has a plant in a city about 40 miles south of us. They employ hundreds of people and run 24/7. Just as important, probably hundreds of thousands of farmers produce the crops that go into their final product.

Bunny....why is it that folks who handle other peoples money , say traders, or bankers, thank they have a smug condescending attitude to others...even before they know who they are, or what they own. Just handling other peoples money does not make you superior..chill out and get a sense of humor.

WRONG! The company came out, in 2004, with the fact that it had NOTHING at all to do with Terry&Kerry!

So is your post serious or a joke? You switch back and forth. First you're an investor, then not. FOR American business, then not. Yucking up about the loss of American jobs then not.

I don't know anything about that.

What I DO know, is that Terry has NOTHING at all to do with the company.

Oh no, not Boars head. Why?

I love Heinz ketchup and it's good to know that the nuts aren't part of the company. Glad many here dispelled that myth.

Bunny, I cheered when Slim Fast dumped Whoopee Goldberg from their TV advertising ,and threated a boycott of their product, if they did not get rid of her. And I am not the only Freeper, that did.

Yeah, I know, I too like Boar'sHead; but the moron who inherited the company is a BIG DEM KNEEPADDER. His father and grandfather before him, weren't; but he is. :-(
