"Canned tomato aspic"? Is that a thing? Must be on the shelf with the Powdered Rutabaga and Caperbutter.

Here are the new stickers that Dole is putting on their bananas.
Celebrate 125 years of demolishing acres upon acres of untouched virgin rainforest to grow bananas. Celebrate the harsh pesticides and fungicides that are used so heavily the waterways and land surrounding a banana plantation is contaminated for miles, and the people working the plantation have the nickname “parrots” because their skin tone has a bluish hue from the chemicals, not to mention the health effects of said chemicals that Dole and DOW tried to keep quiet about (cancer, kidney disease, sterility, deformities, blindness, to name a few).
Celebrate 125 years of horrific slave labor (why do you think an imported tropical fruit remains 49¢ a pound regardless of season or inflation?), countless human rights violations, and taking over and destroying entire countries with bloody wars fought to suppress labor rights and establish company control over governments.
Dole and Chiquita destroyed and continue to destroy millions of lives to this day. This campaign is an absolute slap in the face to humanity.

After the holidays, it's back to work . . . or not. These New Yorkers were among those filling out the paperwork for unemployment benefits, January 2, 1938. In the city, 280,000 cards were given out and 140,000 insurance applications filled out and returned.

one of those "lets defend the billion dollar company" people but instead of like, a game company or whatever they get offended when Dole's history as a millitant contractor is brought up.
