Kraft foods, NOT for health conscious!

Warning to all you coffee drinkers out there!



Recently I bought a small glass container of Maxwell House Instant coffee. I added it to my morning Protein Smoothie--sort of a healthier version of a frappacino! Anyway, after having used about 1/2 of the container, imagine my surprise when my next scoop had a 2 inch sliver of glass in it!



I immediately called Kraft, the maker of Maxwell House, and they rushed to investigate the matter, sending me a packing slip to send them the potentially deadly brew. Well, rushed if you are the Pony Express, but their label arrived 12 days later--and the return label would have taken equally as long to get to them. I sent it back to them via Priority mail so they could more quicly investigate the matter.



I also checked with the local Health Department to make sure that something was being done and that all of the same batch had been taken off of local store shelves, as I didn't want to be responsible for someone else consuming glass. Surprisingly, this was the first they heard of it.



         NOT good to the last drop--or shard!



Well, flash forward many weeks, and apparently the Kraft Snack Fairy has concluded his investigation, Inspector Kluso must have been busy--, but there is "NO way that the glass, which looked and felt exactly like the bottom of the container that I bought, could have gotten into the jar while it was in the factory". Well, thank goodness! I feel better. I guess the large chunk of glass was a fragment of my imagination?



NO WAY!?, then how did it get there? Perhaps they think I am the Wendy's chili finger-planting woman's partner in crime? I was so insulted by the way that the "executive respresentative" from Kraft spoke with me and more insulted by the complete and total lack of concern that Kraft has for the health of their customers.



I should have known what to expect, after all, Kraft's committment to our health is evident by the products that they produce--cookies, Velveta,  macaroni and cheese, etc... and the shameful and blatant marketing that they do to our nation of obese children.



If you are with me on this, how about a Boycott of ALL Kraft products? Maybe we can show them that from coffee with glass, to foods that go straight to our as__--we want BETTER from our nations leaders in food production!











 



Do you see ANY products above that belong in the body of a health conscious person? If your answer is NO, look for these labels when shopping and just say NO WAY!



   



Carpe Diet!
