Does that also include his line of boxed Broths? Puck's boxed beef broth is pretty darn good.

How ethical would you say it was to use Cold Mud as an uncredited source of many of your stories?

Awesome. Now campbell's can add MSG!! yeah! And then take it out and call it low sodium/healthy request! YEAH. Campbell's seems to ruin everything. They own Pepperidge Farm, Godiva, etc. All went to crap after the purchase.

It's not like everything labeled "organic" is owned by a small mom-and-pop company. Organic food is a HUGE industry right now, and huge bureaucratic corporations own most of what we see in the grocery stores... cute pictures of little family farms are plastered on the container, after being voted "likely to sell stuff to people" by consumer research groups. "Free range" chicken gets the title after having a tiny door the chickens never use, which gets opened 1 hour each day. Anyway. Ranting. But still. Campbell's owning Puck's soup line is no different than the rest of the big-name organic industry.

The more appropriate question is how this will effect Wolfgang Puck's reputation. Is he selling out, or is that irrelevant and already a moot question ? I mean, who cares about Campbell's??

"Do you think they are unfairly buying their way into the organic market, or is this an acceptable tactic?"

Huh? So it wouldn't be "fair" for Campbell's to buy Wolfgang Schmuck's line of soups? What, in your mind, *would* be fair? Should Wolfgang Schmuck only sell out to the Smelly Hippie Co-Op of Santa Clara, CA?

Should Campbell's be forced to their knees and beg for contrition before buying an "organic" company? Should they repent all their old sins and create organic soups in-house as a form of penance?

All money is green, honey.

MSG = mono SODIUM glutamate, doesn't make it less salty. and whats wrong with msg anyways? its natural in protiens and derived from funghi

What's wrong w/msg is that it's common for people to have mild to severe reactions to it that range from headaches & dizziness to blackouts.

Campbell's has a lot of experience in organic now. they have had several products for a few years,and this just adds to their stable. They have this guy named Steve Demuri who I have heard speak, and he knows his manure. He is on the national board of organics, or soemthing like that.

I say mmmmm good!

mmmm good. Campbell has a lot of organic products and this adds some class to their stable. they have this guy named Steve Demuri who I have heard speak, and he knows his organic manure.

I think Demuri is speaking at the next organic show in Chicago. We should hear more about Puck.
