Based on the information in that link, I think I will continue to avoid Heinz brands.

Go back and read the "information" there. None of it has anything to do with the company. They are talking about foundations that she runs. OK, so she inherted a bunch of money, and because she is the widow of a Heinz family member, she gets to use the name "Heinz" in them. But those foundations have nothing whatsoever to do with the company of the same name.

This whole thing is STUPID. It makes Freepers look like a bunch of silly ignoramuses of the sort who would boycott French's Mustard in order to punish "the French."

We used to be better than this. We used to actually look up facts before we shot our mouths off. Now any idiot can come on here advocating the dumbest imaginable stuff, and a whole bunch of people jump right on it without asking the simplest questions about whether the idea even makes any sense. Arrgggh.
