By Corey Pein — Nov 27, 2025

A couple of ideas if this holiday isn't your thing and you have a few bucks to spare: you can donate to the United Farm Workers, whose highly vulnerable members make the feast possible, or you can adopt a turkey and give it a home in a sanctuary. - Corey

PARTING WORDS

"We have sh-t for f-cking poor people. Who buys our sh-t? I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore."

-- Martin Bally, a former Campbell Soup Company vice president, speaking during a headquarters meeting in Nov. 2024, according to a recording by a former worker who sued the company for racial discrimination. The executive also complained that the company's products contain "bioengineererd meat...that came from a 3D printer," prompting denials from Cambell's, which fired Bally yesterday. One outside public relations expert tells the Associated Press that the company should have immediately settled the aggrieved worker's lawsuit to avoid this recording coming to light.
