  • Well I just want to say that I fully support you and your battle with Danone the misleaders. They are breaking the law by saying that their garden variety bacteria is unique to them. I refuse to buy any of their products, and their attack on free speech makes my resolve even stronger.

  • Lisa. Well said.I was walking turhogh a health food store the other day and saw that KD now not only is a “Sensible Solution”, but it also has half a serving of veggies. “WHAT!?” I said to myself. I just had to read the label. Yup, sure enough, they injected some concentrated, over processed cauliflower something into the grains. Ah, so much better. LOL, thought you’d get a chuckle out of that, as I remember you once saying “In what world is Kraft Dinner a “Sensible Solution”?TRS
