I don't want to make money off a company like that. Still wondering how they could raze an historic district. We saw how the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers put forth a high-dollar campaign to get the citizens of Arlington to buy both stadiums. marthainviennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394961204389330577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205118861048936895.post-2077634996779099612012-09-06T20:30:07.554-05:002012-09-06T20:30:07.554-05:00I suspect the corporate culture at ConAgra is to s...I suspect the corporate culture at ConAgra is to save money and cut corners to maintain a strong bottom line. Large scale processed food is not sustainable, and ConAgra's continuing string of problems is just the top of that ice burg. We are all just waiting for the next food crisis, and it will come. They are not just "unlucky." Their business is filled with potential problems.

And I've heard all the stories about ConAgra, which I'm sure are true as the company seems rather casual about their processing fidelity.<br /><br />I was born in Omaha, but don't seem to remember much about it!

Love to visit the riverfront and all the parks when visiting my sister in Omaha. <br /><br />There is a food distribution program (I will not name) where you purchase a month's worth of frozen meals with some fresh produce for a small fixed amount of money. A lot of churches in my area participate in this program to help struggling families . I used to recommend this to people I knew that were having a hard time making ends meet until I learned that all the generic packaged frozen meals were put together by ConAgra from the leftovers of other product lines. There were rumors for a while that caused me some concerns about the safety of these products so I stopped referring people to the program.
