I wouldn't say that I am boycotting Heinz ketchup or the company in
general. We had a town pretty well devastated by their decision to move
south, leaving a lot of people out of work and a lot of farmers without
a market. Then French's bought the plant and started making ketchup. I
bought it out of loyalty to the people who did something to tried to
help. I was impressed with the product. I don't use much ketchup so
neither company will be affected much either way, but AAMOF I picked up
a bottle of it today. There was en end bunker of it on special.
