Commenting on Campbell's product, Martin Bally, Campbell’s Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer has been recorded saying:
“We have sh*t for f**king poor people.... Who buys our sh*t?”
“I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore,” he added. “It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**k’s in it.”
“Bioengineered meat! I don’t wanna eat a f**king piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer.”
And for those who want something better than Campbell's soup at a fraction of the cost, here's a recipe for lentil soup that I got sixty years ago from a fellow graduate student who hailed from South India.
Take one cup of red lentils and several cups of water, and add chopped vegetables, whatever comes to hand. Carrots add some color and broccoli chopped small looks cool. But some cabbage, a potato, parsnip, or cauliflower all provide interesting variation on the theme. Finally, add a good-sized pinch of salt, bring to the boil, and let simmer for ten minutes.
Meantime add a quarter teaspoon of chile pepper flakes, a quarter teaspoon of powdered coriander, and a quarter teaspoon of hot curry powder to a small pan containing a couple of ounces of melted butter. Let the spices sizzle in the butter for half a minute or so, then stir the butter and spices in with the lentils. Now you have soup costing no more than pennies, that's better than anything I've ever had in a can.
As for Martin Bally, The Campbell's soup Veep who calls Campbell's soup Sh*t, he's clearly an honest man, for which he can surely expect to be canned -- though not literally, I hope.
