You're right. Heinz has a ton of frozen foods brands and McDonald's owns the restaurants headquartered out of Golden, CO:

It's not the latest information, it's the same information it was in 2004 when certain people got all bent out of shape about John Kerry and his wife.
It's symbolism over substance. You'd need a time machine to prevent Teresa Heinz from being rich, and boycotting a good company to make a futile political point only hurts honest working people.

Very good one Proud.
Yes they will! They will make ME feel better!!
Boycotts never work... we know that.
No problem. They make ME feel better.
Heinz is the only good catsup or is it catshup or is it catchup?
Psst. Best not to post that copyright notice at the bottom.

Did you check out the link I provided to others? It's amazing to me who owns what these days:

"Heinz is the only good catsup or is it catshup or is it catchup?"
Actually, I checked the spelling before I posted... There are several possible spellings - all "correct":
"When Heinz introduced commercial ketchup to American kitchens it became so popular that other manufacturers rushed to catch-up to the ketchup craze. Soon there were Ketchup, Catsup, Catchup, Katsup, Catsip, Cotsup, Kotchup, Kitsip, Catsoup, Katshoup, Katsock, Cackchop, Cornchop, Cotpock, Kotpock, Kutpuck, Kutchpuck and Cutchpuck. All were tomato based and bottled and vied to become a household word. Only 3 major brands remained to steal the spotlight...Heinz Ketchup, Del Monte Catsup, and Hunts, who could not decide on a spelling and bottled under the names Hunts Catsup (east of the Mississippi), Hunts Ketchup (west of the Mississippi)...
