Tale of My Boggled Mind

Ya gotta love it. This absolutely boggles my mind.

It seems that in the interest of economics, some companies are choosing to move offshore, costing countless American jobs. Some of these same companies are choosing to purchase the ingredients that make up their products from a variety of sources. They don't appear to be interested in the quality of the ingredients, or even what those ingredients are. They do not require the suppliers to provide the information ~ citing proprietary secrets or some such horsepucky. They also change suppliers at the drop of a hat with no notice to the buyers of their products. Therefore they cannot tell a customer whether or not a product is safe for that customer to eat because they really have no idea what is in it.

Did you get that? They expect you to trust them to provide a product that is safe for you to eat, but they themselves don't even know what is in it!

ACK!

Two major companies that I know of that adamantly REFUSE to disclose ingredients are KFC and Hershey's.

A friend told me of her experience at KFC when trying to find something safe for her child to eat. The manager flat out refused. Rather than risk her child's life (yes life) she chose to take her business and money elsewhere.

The sorry Hershey's saga can be found here.
