The same process is used for many vaccines. Here is a link to the vaccines that use cells from murdered babies: http://www.cogforlife.org/fetalvaccines.htm
I stopped once I found out about this. I believe Mug Root Beer is a Pepsi product among many others. I’ll stick to seltzer for now.
Pepsico also markets the Lay brand of chips and snacks, which we are now boycotting.
Just to be clear, the aborted cells in question are actually clones of clones of clones of cells taken from a fetus that was aborted 40 years ago. They are not put in the drink itself but are used by the company in question to test taste additives and the such.
So it’s not as though if you drink Pepsi you are drinking dead babies.
All the same, what the company in question is doing is unethical in the extreme — whether the baby was aborted 40 years ago or yesterday it is wrong to profit from its death like this. Pepsi itself won’t be getting any more of my business if these are the types of companies with which it chooses to partner.
Can someone explain to me in simple terms exactly how one could taste test anything using aborted fetus cells?
Just shared this with friends and sent kudos to Campbells for their response.
This could also affect kraft, campbells nestle and coca cola too.
I just emailed PepsiCo via their website. It’s 11 PM Saturday. I got a reply back about how professional Senomyx is, and how Pepsi ingredients are FDA approved. It’s a form letter, probably automatically sent. Pepsi isn’t interested in what we think.
Boycotting Pepsi will be no problem here. In fact, when hubby and I go to Foxwoods Casino we bring our own Coca Cola, even thought we are both really beer drinkers, because all you can get there is a Pepsi, and Pepsi is just yucky.
I will make the effort to call Campbell’s Soup Co. A very loyal company that even after all these years is the anchor of Camden, NJ. It’s pretty much all Camden has got, and oh yea, I think they have an aquarium.
So, I’m glad to know Campbell’s did the right thing, because not buying Pepsi is easy, boycotting Campbell’s would be hard, but I would do it.
This is disgusting what these people are doing.
They are all little Frankensteins.
Sick and disgusting.
Either way, using these fetal cells hardly seems the best way to perform these tests.
