Diabetic Food

What total rubbish!

First, whereas GC is owned by Heinz (as is Watties, Original Juice, Greenseas, Cottees, HP) IXL is owned by Coca-Cola Amatil (along with SPC, Ardmona)

Second is you've contradicted yourself. You say that Heinz OWNS all of the companies on this list you were given - but your original assertion was that Heinz does not "have" diabetic food. Now which way is is?

And third - I can find no evidence whatever of Heinz being fined for alleged discrimination. Although I wouldn't put it past the lunatics we have dictating our lives, it makes no sense whatever. The courts would be applying penalties to any manufacturer of food products that didn't produce a version suitable for each and every different self-declared victim group. You'd need certification for diabetcs, phenylketonurics, coeliacs, a hundred and one different allergy-triggers, halal, kosher, vegan - the list is endless. And of course, Heinz persists in this - so would be racking up the fines daily.

Would the courts decide that Kraft is disciminating and has to produce peanut butter for people with a peanut allergy?

As I diabetic of many years standing, I believe the key is to eat more naturally. Small amounts often rather than a big meal in the evening. I don't avoid tomatoes - at 59c/can, it's about all I can afford anyway - and I'm a pensioner, but not a "State Pensioner."

But I avoid Heinz for other reasons. They still owe me $3 rebate from a promotion they ran 15 years ago. Haven't knowingly bought anything they produce since. And of course, they closed their Kyabram tomato-processing factory but dismantled it rather than allowing the local community to take ownership.
