This whole outsourcing & Heinz thing has been done to death - and, for the most part, they're simply making products for a particular market, close to the market, using locally available resources. Last time I checked, that was a good business practice. Face it - you can't make ketchup here, ship it to somewhere in Europe, and be able to sell it at a price that will be competitive in the market and still be able to make any profit. And many of the things Heinz makes overseas are not sold here, nor are the raw materials available for them to make things here. The jobs Heinz has overseas where never here to begin with - so this outsourcing is a load of crap.
