    Everything that stereotypes the Irish. I am surprise he is not coming home drunk and beating his Leprechaun wife like in some surreal part of "Family Guy".

    When you said "don't get me started" I was kind of hoping for something a bit more epic in terms of a rant from you. Disappointed :(

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    A fodo company with a "Manifesto"?! Says it all!

    MasterFoods were sponsoring food science books for when I was training to be a chef. Bear in mind I was young and very green of what life was like in an industrial kitchen.

    Uncle Ben's, owned by Mars Inc. ...

    In 2019, Mars announced that they couldn't guarantee that their chocolate products were free from child slave labour, as they could trace only 24% of their purchasing back to the farm level. The Washington Post noted that the commitment taken in 2001 to eradicate such practices within 4 years had not been kept, neither at the due deadline of 2005, nor within the revised deadlines of 2008 and 2010, and that the result was not likely to be achieved for 2020 either.[75]

    I find Family Guy's portrails of ethic minorities refreshing and honest.
