ADM and Cargil got hit hard last year.

Food used to be the safest place to be, now it is in danger. No profit margin, and consumers are buying less and less food from domestic sources.

Get ready. There will be a decline in prices, followed by a run up as domestic suppliers either go out of business or radically inflate prices.

Even for Diamond foods, $80 million or so is nothing to sneeze at!

“Wonder if they support obozo?”

If they do/did, I bet they regret it now that the FDA wants to them to stop printing on their packaging the fact that walnuts are good for you—or Codex Alimentarius (sp?) will categorize walnuts as needing a doc’s prescription for purchase.
