Campbell to Remove BPA from Packaging by Mid-2017
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160328005722/en/Campbell-Remove-BPA-Packaging-Mid-2017

I am a big fan of contacting manufacturers, if enough of us do it, it does produce change.

1. Think of all the poor souls who will have to find a way tolerate knowledge and democracy

Oh my. This is going to be terribly upsetting for the Elitist 8% and their IGNORANCE IMPERATIVE. That is to say the puny 8% minority of Americans who don't want to know what's in the food they are eating and feeding to their children, will be terribly distraught that the vast democratic majority (92%) of Americans who would like this basic knowledge are - through sustained, peaceful, intelligent activism - succeeding.

Oh noes. It appears that the IGNORANCE IMPERATIVE of the Elitist 8% is going into a well-deserved and spectacular FAIL mode. They don't want to know, and they were hoping they could keep the rest of America Ignorant as well. They are damning the 92% majority as STUPID for wanting knowledge. Pity Party alert. Hand Wringers sure to appear soon as their twisted, Orwellian motto (below) is overridden by intelligent citizens.

3. I can't believe how expensive soup is today.

I get cream of mushroom soup and it's a 1.89. What the heck.

7. How many of these Monsanto posters are really all the same person?

I mean, as a full-time shill, I think it would be possible to post even the high volume of pro-GMO propaganda we are seeing lately.

Dude, take your snake oil over to some Republican fora. You'll find plenty of gullible rubes over there.

2. Now, if only they could learn to make good soup...

1 can Cannellini Beans
1 can Chopped Tomatoes
1/2 lb chopped/washed Spinach
1 qt vegetable broth
salt & pepper to taste

Bring to boil and simmer 10 min.

13. Why have I never heard of Cannellini Beans?!

This sounds similar to a minestrone! Is it?

4. Always knew Campbells soup would bring around the Soupocolypse. People will stop eating now.

Ultimate transparency will lead to us all shedding our clothes and going to work on bikes. Think about it. Dolphins will demand to get paid by the military. Dogs and cats will ally together, when learning their masters were behind their 1000 year war. There will be countless new youtube accounts created all on one day leading to Google to crash into the planet moving us several degrees closer to the sun and surprisingly halting climate change. Huge pits open up all around the world...

Here comes the Chicken Noodle Messiah.

5. Like I've said before, this is just a sales gimmick.

Nothing more, nothing less.

8. It won't hurt big companies at all.

9. Ummm hmmmm

Now, where have we heard this before?

[JDPriestly]

11. I've been avoiding their soups. Guess I won't have to any more.

Thanks for this post. And thanks to Campbell's soups.

12. Should we be thrilled that they are removing a harmful chemical formula from their packaging

only after the better part of 2 decades after scientists had began discovering its harmful effects?

Japan removed BPA from their packaging in the late '90s and early '00s.

Or is it not a harmful chemical formula? The FDA says is safe.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I am pleased that the anti-GMO message is apparently sinking in

so I count that as progress.
As for the FDA....way too much history of them being in the pockets of food/drug corpocracy, so I take everything they say with a extra large grain of salt. However I am not incapable of fact checking their information, esp. now with the web.
You may recall that just last year it was announced that the food pyramid was bass ackwards and not healthy.
After how many years?

14. The replacement for BPA

is often a xenoestrogen. Removing BPA may or may not help at all.

[HuckleB]

16. BPA-free plastic alternatives may not be safe as you think

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. As the article states:

"the acrylic and polyester options will ensure our food remains safe,"

are those xenoestrogens?
