Philip Morris and Boca

[Guest guest]

This may be old news to some of you, but I read the other day that

Philip Morris acquired Boca (as well as Balance Bar) back in 2000. I

just can't see giving any money to that corporation.

 

I'd be curious if people have any other information on the corporate

ties of companies that make vegetarian " meat. " I'm especially

interested in Morningstar Farms, since I may be singlehandedly keeping

them in the black.

 

Thanks!

I was a little concerned when I read this post. I mean, don't we

want the " big " companies to see vegan foods as a " good investment " .

How else are we ever going to someday see vegan candy in vending

machenes? Don't get me wrong, I stopped buying silk when I found out

Dean Foods took it over, but I still encourage people (non-vegan and

new-vegan) to drink it because it IS vegan. I'm also a little

concerned that SFBaveg admin aproves negative posts unrelated to

veg/AR causes and then rejects the reply posts of veg/AR supporters.

(this however is unrelated to the attached post, it just also been on

my mind)

 

I don't mean to piss anybody off. That's just what I've been

thinking.

Hi all,

 

Hey Sean, People just send messages to the group, much like you do... If we

think a topic is very controversial or very sensitive, then we will try to

prevent that from happening further. This means that messages with opposing

or supporting viewpoints on the same topic will not be allowed through. The

() SFBAVeg mailing list is one list and therefore discussions

need to stay focused & on-topic, as per the Charter.

 

In our new forum, hosted on our website, http://www.generationv.org/forum,

we can have multiple areas... AND we specially have one for " General Debate

& Discussion: Open discussion on any topic (including limericks & prose).

All discussion threads that start in this forum stay in this forum. Please

remember that you alone are responsible for the content of your messages.

Just remember: if you can't take the heat, don't go near the fire. PLEASE

try to keep it civil. "

 

So, please feel free to continue whatever thread you are referring to in

that forum. As it is all online, people browse the categories they are

interested in, and are not innundated with discussions not of interest to

them.

 

By the way, Sean, and everyone, you can always contact Chris or myself, the

SFBAVeg List Admins, at -owner . If you're looking

for a response from us, that's the best way to reach us.

 

Cheers,

Tammy
