See article keywords and concepts |  It's not the jobs that matter, but what the jobs are producing. And kraft Foods, apparently, missed the boat on rolling out healthy foods. Trans fat free Oreo cookies don't count.
I have a recovery plan for kraft that doesn't even require a million dollar fee to fast-talking business consultants: try making foods that don't shorten the lifespan of your customers and you might discover a more reliable revenue stream. |

See article keywords and concepts |  And by the way, I really applaud the ethics and the use of wholesome, natural ingredients by kraft which is also, by the way, the owner of Philip Morris, the cigarette company.
If you've ever wondered why kraft uses these ingredients in their foods, just remember that this is part of the same mega-corporation that sells a nicotine product that every doctor agrees is likely to kill you, even when used as directed.
I'm just curious how far we could actually take this concept with kraft and other food manufacturers. |

See book keywords and concepts |  So advantageous in its expansion of the menu of cheap raw materials, the new technology of kraft pulp paper brought with it a serious disadvantage, too. Bleaching kraft pulp presented a particularly tough technical challenge: powdered chlorine bleach was not up to the test; it was simply too weak to bleach the pulp effectively.
There was a remedy for this problem, albeit a dangerous one. Chlorine gas, even though it had proved too potent and too unpredictable for textile fabric bleaching, had the very strengrh needed to bleach kraft process wood pulp paper. |

I'm just curious how far we could actually take this concept with kraft and other food manufacturers. Maybe we could have milk-free milk, which is really just water mixed with chalk powder in a milk carton. | | So what are companies like kraft putting in their foods instead of avocado? Partially hydrogenated oils, of course, because it's a lot cheaper than avocados. The dip from kraft has less than 2% avocado which means it's really not guacamole. It's more like "dumpster dip" because the primary ingredients are garbage for your diet.
This recipe may not be a big surprise given that avocado is a rather expensive ingredient to use. It's much cheaper to use hydrogenated oils and artificial colors such as yellow #5 and blue #1 to give it the appearance and color of avocado. |

See article keywords and concepts | | We're winning the war against junk food manufacturers! kraft Foods, a company that I would categorize as the largest junk food / processed food manufacturer in the world (also owned by a tobacco company, by the way) has just announced it's slashing jobs and closing manufacturing plants. A whopping 8,000 jobs, to be exact.
That's good news for the health of Americans, because it means fewer factories are churning out disease-promoting junk foods. Overeducated, misguided economists would argue with that, screaming about the loss of jobs. |

The extent to which Kraft's political and business strategy is governed by Philip Morris and how kraft responds to the obesity crisis will be important to follow.
Cloaked Connections in Trade Organizations. Food and tobacco money are intertwined in organizations that fight for wholesome-sounding causes. One example is the Center for Consumer Freedom (discussed in detail below). |

See article keywords and concepts | | REPPED: kraft and other food manufacturers are currently selling guacamole dips that have no avocado in them, according to a report from the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). This is also obvious by simply visiting the grocery store and looking for guacamole products and checking their ingredients list. Most of them have no avocados whatsoever. Buying avocado-free guacamole is sort of like purchasing a hamburger that contains no meat.
Avocado should be the main ingredient in guacamole, of course. |
Paul D. Blanc, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Then, in 1884, a German chemist introduced an important innovation in pulp paper manufacturing that came to be called the kraft process. This process substituted sodium sulfate for soda ash. This technical advance allowed pulp paper to be made from a greater variety of poorer-quality, lower-cost trees, thus dramatically increasing profitability. So advantageous in its expansion of the menu of cheap raw materials, the new technology of kraft pulp paper brought with it a serious disadvantage, too. | | Bleaching kraft pulp presented a particularly tough technical challenge: powdered chlorine bleach was not up to the test; it was simply too weak to bleach the pulp effectively.
There was a remedy for this problem, albeit a dangerous one. Chlorine gas, even though it had proved too potent and too unpredictable for textile fabric bleaching, had the very strengrh needed to bleach kraft process wood pulp paper. Thus pure chlorine gas, all but abandoned for use as an industrial bleaching agent fifty years earlier, was rapidly reintroduced into commerce. |

Maybe we could have milk-free milk, which is really just water mixed with chalk powder in a milk carton. I bet that would be a high-profit item and consumers would chug it down by the gallon, especially if they could get some industry-paid scientist to say that chalk is good for you. Maybe they could have ham-free ham products which are packed with nothing but water and a ham-looking gelatin substance. Wait a minute. We already have that. It's called "picnic product. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The only large company I know of that has an incredible connection to spam is kraft, with their Gevalia coffee -- overpriced Swedish gourmet coffee. They have a longstanding history of hiring dodge emailers to send spam, and I'm pretty sure sometime in the next couple years somebody's going to collect enough Gevalia spam to go back and actually file suit against kraft, which will of course be an excellent suit, because they have lots of money if they lose.

See article keywords and concepts |  On one hand, kraft is to be applauded for making this change, but on the other hand, kraft sure dragged its feet for a long time. Obviously, it could have made these changes years ago, but it chose to do so only as the deadline for trans fat food labeling approached, so I'm not giving kraft the thumbs-up on ethics, although it is a step in the right direction to eliminate trans fats from most of its food products.
Virtually all food manufacturers are reformulating their products now to be free of trans fatty acids. |

See article keywords and concepts |  I recommend that you don't buy anything from Monsanto, Phillip Morris or kraft Foods. Forget about Coke and Pepsi. Support small sustainable farms, organic farms, family farms, your local food co-ops and your local farmer's market.
Another, huge step you can take is to have your own garden. Grow heirloom plants, not hybrid plants, so you can save your seeds and use them generation after generation. The very act of saving and using seeds is, in its own way, a respectful ritual for nature. Who knows? |

See book keywords and concepts |  Now that corporate food giants such as Dole, General Mills, kraft, and ConAgra have gotten into the "organic" game, they have, as part of an industry-wide group, lobbied hard to change the rules about what it means to be "organic." If they win at getting synthetic chemicals like ripening agents and thickeners added to the list of allowable ingredients, or even genetic engineering to pass muster, then "organic" will move further and further away from "pure."
In 1996, the two houses of Congress unanimously enacted the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). |

See book keywords and concepts |  For instance: ss kraft Foods announced that it would abolish in-school marketing to children, change some recipes, and introduce smaller portion sizes. s McDonald's stopped offering supersized fries and soft drinks, unfurled a multiyear Balanced Lifestyles platform featuring national commercials that encourage consumers to be more active, and introduced McDonald's Go Active! Happy Meal, which includes a salad, a fountain drink or water, a Step with It! Stepometer (pedometer), and an informative booklet by fitness expert/exercise physiologist Bob Greene, who is Oprah Winfrey's personal trainer. | | Nestle, Coke, Pepsi, Cadbury Schweppes, Hershey, kraft, ConAgra, ADM, Cargill, M&M/Mars, Tyson, Campbell's, etc.—there isn't a mainstream food company that isn't using high-fructose corn syrup," one source points out. "They're making a profit at the health expense of the consumer."
Marketing of Sweets and Quickie-Carb Snacks Influences Our Buying Patterns
Clearly, companies making soda, cookies, crackers, cereals, candies, donuts, and other sugary and quickie-carb foods are caught in an awkward predicament. | | The head of this last organization, whose members include the Coca Cola Company, PepsiCo, kraft Foods, Cadbury Schweppes, the Snack Food Association, the American Beverage Association (formerly the National Soft
Drink Association), and the Sugar Association, reportedly once stated that soda-and-candy-filled vending machines in schools don't play a role in the obesity crisis. "You can take every vending machine out of schools, and I don't believe you'd touch the obesity issue in children," Dr. | | Brownell writes in his book, Food Fight: The Inside Story of the Food Industry, America's Obesity Crisis, and What We Can Do About It. "Kraft in turn is the largest food company in the [country], but is itself [almost completely] owned by . . . [Altria Group, Inc., formerly known as tobacco giant] Philip Morris."
Insiders are now struck by the similarities between what once faced Big Tobacco and what now faces Big Sugar. |

Their campaign, described at www.krafty.org, is rallying consumers to contact kraft, to ask the company to take out GM ingredients.
Please email or write food companies to share your concerns about GM foods. If you have stopped buying a food brand due to GMO issues, definitely let the company know. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Technically, this kind of feeding counts as a family dinner in the survey results, though it's hard to believe it performs all the customary functions of a shared meal. kraft or General Mills, for instance, is now determining the portion sizes, not mom, and the social value of sharing food is lost. It looks a lot more like a restaurant meal, where everyone orders his or her own dish. (Though the service isn't quite as good, because the entrees don't arrive at the same time. |
