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
It’s being boycott hard in Canada, just gave me another reason.
Lol.
Imagine being a SVP at a soup company. I mean it’s THE soup company but still.
Gives me this energy:
They don’t care because they’re rich. Better than the poors.
I find it extremely funny that news like this is shocking to anyone. If you don’t realize just how awful companies are as a whole at this point then you’re intentionally ignorant. Your favorite brand is an awful, money grubbing machine that will prey on your insecurities, your pride, your hopes or whatever else to get you to buy.
Fucking suit.
Friendly reminder that HR is there to protect the company, not you
They are there to strap your labor for profit.
The problem with that is that quite often protecting you is what protects the company. I’ve worked with a lot of HR people in various sectors, and a large chunk of their job was telling management what they couldn’t legally. do.
I was in an IBEW union a while ago. I was an average employee, but it was like 9 or 10 bucks an hour, so that’s the work they got. I’m not going to bust my ass all day coming home dead, while all I management just walks and talks and sits in meetings all day. They tried to fire me one time and tried to get me to go with them to take a drug test and I said sure who’s car we taking to go do this? Let’s get this over with cuz I still have work to do. They stopped bothering me after that, but I left not long after cuz the pay was shit. But all my coworkers were cool as fuck inner city peeps from NYC.
Add him to the guillotine list
Generic store brands are better and more affordable. But any canned soup with High Fructose Corn Syrup is horrible for you.
It’s surprisingly difficult to find soup that isn’t chock full of nasty stuff. I just want some veggies and maybe a bit of meat in broth or some kind of chili. Why is that so difficult for companies to make?
Because it doesn’t last long in cans. All the extra ingredients are to keep the appearance and taste stable. Meats and starches are particularly hard to safely can without preservatives.
You honestly don’t need them though. If you pressure can homemade chicken soup yourself (don’t water can meat or starches, but pressure canning is the same thing with different equipment and not very difficult), the quality loss you have over two years is negligible. It’s possible that the meat gets a little tougher, but it’s honestly surprising how little it’s affected by 90 minutes of superheating.
You only use them if the only things you care about are consistency and price.
My heart goes out to those without the knowledge, skill or time to make their own. Great healthy soup is not hard to make. Relatively easy, cheap and with litteral food scraps. 99% of the time requirement is just an unattended pot simmering, with just a wee bit of chopping, tasting as you do and ammending.
If anyone is on a very tight budget, you can go a long way for cheap with:
-
beans and rice
-
pulse dishes
-
soups!
Some important ingredients in a good soup include bones (boil 'em for the broth - beef, pork, chicken, soup company EVP, whatever). Diced carrots, celery and salt and voila! You have an amazing versatile soup base.
Everything else is optional and to taste. Throw in beans, groats, herbs, spices, mushrooms, meats, rice, fish sauce, sirracha, chillies whatever is cheap and available. You can buy from the “almost spoiled” discount section of the grocery because you’ll never notice diced up in a soup. You can also dress it up fancy with premium ingredients for a treat and variety.
Old canned and frozen foods are also great in soups.
An instant pot is a great investment. Tons of recipes online, so much easier and faster than tending to something on the stovetop, you don’t have to soak the beans, etc.

$0.96 is pretty damn cheap and I don’t need to make any extra effort for all the protein I need for the night. I wish I had time and energy to cook more often, but I really appreciate having affordable options like this. If I was single I would be eating very cheaply with very little effort.
That is pretty cheap. You can probably make better for less in bulk.

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.
This is one of the best things I learned to do when I was a poor person.
A whole chicken is relatively inexpensive, especially if you are buying on sale. There’s not much easier than roasting a chicken. Just follow a basic recipe, nothing fancy.
That also makes your leftovers very versatile. I like to use them to make chicken stock with the bones and some veggies or to make chicken pot pie. You could also just use the meat for a chicken salad or something. Or toss it in a salad. But don’t waste the bones!
Now I do this every Thanksgiving with a roast duck and I use the leftovers to make duck pho (I don’t have to feed a lot of people.)
Better yet, boiled a chicken whole and have all the soup.
Does anyone have a link to the audio that doesn’t have advertisements pop-ups or a shitty mobile experience? Perhaps… A direct link to an audio file? I fucking hate the web
Firefox + ublock origin = no ads on youtube. I use the browser on my phone instead of the app for the same reason.
I did find a soundcloud link, though https://soundcloud.com/dead-kennedys-official/soup-is-good-food
I don’t know why you linked me to the song… But that is not what I wanted… Thank you for not at all listening to the audio clip
Oh, I thought you were replying to the comment that’s a link to the song on youtube, just above your comment Misread the indent level. Well, isn’t my face red!
No worries. I just wanna hear that dude say what he said without having to jump through a bunch of hoops
reminds me of my childhood friend, his dad owns a tuna canning company, when i went to visit him at his house the first time, they offered lunch, my gullible mind was expecting fish, they had steak insted, because of course they are rich lol
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.
I think the maximum recommended amount is more than that, but not substantially. Which is sad because I also love tuna.
I try to get maximum enjoyment out of it by buying the fancy sashimi.
Sucks to hear. On a bender sometimes the only thing I can stomach is tomato soup
I loved Campbell’s soup as a kid. IDK if it’s worse now, but the main ingredient is salt. Maybe it always was and I once liked that.
Anyway, buying it if you’re poor is crazy, if you have any way to cook at home. There’s maybe 10 cents worth of ingredients in the can.
No, it’s worse now. Almost no meat, less veg, more pasta, thinner broth. And what’s still in it is lower quality, like I’m sure the meat is like 49% soy protein.
If you want good soup, you can’t get it in a can. (Except clam chowder. Just don’t get Campbells or Progresso.)
I used to think Progresso was ok, and sometimes went on sale relatively cheap. The main thing I still get in cans now though is TJ corn kernels.
It was always that. Worked in the food retail sector earlier in my career and the Campbell’s Soup reps would joke that their two main ingredients were salt and hot water.
Fuck that asshole, never buying that shit again.
