Wow that list really includes so many products when you think about how many of them are parent companies of other brands! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow, there are so many companies on that list that are quite well known. :(
ReplyDeleteI have the Better World guide too and it was a major inspiration for my own challenge to become a conscious consumer. Paige also makes a great point that most of these are huge parent companies so we really have to dig deep when researching.
ReplyDeleteYes, ladies. I agree that we have to be careful because many of these own other brands. I was surprised by only a few of them. I intend to delve deeper into Kraft.
ReplyDeleteSometimes people have their own personal agenda that slants their view. I would hope everyone would find out the why and see if it is something they agree with before just following someone's list. Walmart for one, I feel gets a bad rap for all the low prices they offer the consumer. Many people shop there because that is what they can afford.
