On March 30, 2007, a spin out of Kraft Foods subsidiary (publicly traded since 2001) was concluded through distribution of the remaining stake of shares (88.1%) to Altria shareholders. As a result, Altria no longer holds any interest in Kraft Foods. On March 28, 2008 a similar spin out of Philip Morris International was completed with 100% of shares being distributed to Altria shareholders.
at least we can still ban miller and miller light. we should also ban coke until they switch bottling companies.

they say kraft isn't owned by altria anymore but the stocks were given to the altria shareholders. I still think we should boycott kraft foods
BigJim, do you cook? Or more precisely, bake? Because I've got a dang good recipe for whole wheat, sun-dried tomato and basil crackers that are a close approximation to a wheat-thin (I think they're better, but that's me.) As for A-1... well, if you can use a blender, this recipe should work: Copy Cat A1 Steak Sauce Recipe
The only thing on that list I'll miss is Toblerone, but I guess I can make do with other chocolate.
Boycott Coca-Cola? I do not accept this blasphemy! No but in all honesty I'm out.
Arghhhh. I was gonna say how easy this would be. After reading the original list I was like "easy peasy" - I'm already boycotting all these products without even trying. But, coca-cola? Fuggedaboudit! I haven't been able to give up Coke even though I know they kill union organizers in latin american countries.
I remember when the drivers went on strike about 5 years ago and I couldn't get a coke for about two weeks. I was stupid, distracted and unfocused. I felt like I was getting early onset alzheimers!

I believe that Altria/PM owns a non-controlling interest in SAB Miller, a bottler of Coca-Cola products. Coca-Cola itself is not owned by Altria.
I posted a correction on the first page when this was pointed out to me, so don't boycott Kraft, just Philip Morris.
you know i usually agree with you BigJim , but i must say i will not boycott the company i work for , believe in , and trust implicitly.
Starbucks grocery items are made in the same roasting plants that produce all other non grocery coffee. Plants in Washington , Pennsylvania , South Carolina and good ol' Nevada by hard working people like me.
say what you will about Starbucks , there is nothing i haven't heard before , but i will defend this company to the day i die , it has been nothing but good for me any my family. I don't think refusing to buy a pound of grocery coffee , from the company that works with the company that works with the company of Philip Morris is going to get your message across.

BigJimW the name of the parent company is Altria Group Inc. NOT altira. they are two different companies. There is a company called altira but that is not who we want to ban. Please change the name in your first post
Ooh. But Coke isn't as good from the fountain machine! Splitting hairs, splitting hairs...
The coca cola company has done many many wrost things to deserve your boycott then an affiliation with Phillip Morris. I for one don't give them a single penny knowingly based on moral grounds. And as for Phillip Morris, they havn't gotten a penny from me in years and as long as I can vape without purchacing their products they won't.

Actually, I prefer Cokes bottled in Mexico, sweetened with cane sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. As a matter of fact, we should all be boycotting products sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup which might be as big a health hazard as tobacco.
Unfortunately I am unable to edit the original post. Seems that the initial post or if a certain time passes, the author cannot edit the post to make a correction. Which is why I have to post the corrections in the thread.
If you see any error, please point them out. I don't want to start a war with a company that has nothing to do with PM.
I don't drink soda pop... well, maybe two or three a year (and it isn't Coke), but I totally agree with what you have said here about the high-fructose corn syrup.
The only think on Big Jim's list that I do purchase is Jello and that isn't a frequent purchase either.
Btw, on the store brands or off label brands, if they have the same packaging graphics as the name brand label chances are very high that they are made by the same people. Check it out sometime, you'll see.
Yeah, the FDA wants to protect our 'children' by removing flavors from tobacco. What the FDA should be doing is removing fluoride from our water and toothpastes, etc., and high-fructose corn syrup from our foods and drinks.
Too many kids are now overweight or suffer from ADHD, perhaps caused in part by fluoridation and crap sweeteners. The irony is that any 'children' that are now smokers are probably also slimmer and calmer.
Agreed.
What is it that they are projecting for our young... 3 out of 4 will have diabetes in young adulthood? Something like that. And, it is in large part attributed to the harm that high-fructose corn sugar does to the body. Also, it is addictive in that it causes a person to crave it once had.
I don't recall which artificial sugars turn into formaldehyde or which ones turn into wood alcohol in the body... been awhile since I read up on it.
Years ago before I knew better and did subscribe to marketing, aka lies, I used Nutra Sweet (it was marketed to be as safe as bananas and milk... well, I had that as a child sprinkled with a little sugar...mmm.)
Then I discovered the horrors that Nutra Sweet caused, gave it up and miraculously the migraine headaches I had begun to suffer from disappeared. Amazing! ha
So many doctor visits and much suffering would be eliminated if our food producers would quit poisoning us. I could go on and on with this subject! (but won't right now, lol)
