"Similarly, Kraft's zesty Italian fat-free dressing and Wishbone's fat-free ranch both list soybean oil and dairy products among their ingredients. But because the portion sizes are small, these products can still be called "fat-free," under the government's standard (less than 0.5% fat per serving). Read the ingredients. A company called Edward & Sons makes fat-free brown rice snaps in a variety of flavors (onion garlic, tamari sesame, and un-salted) with no oil. But beware! The same company makes toasted onion and vegetable rice snaps with safflower oil added. Read the ingredients." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"The nutritional value of our food has been compromised by factors that range from corporate agribusiness, overfarming, and depleting the nutrient levels of the soil to food conglomerates like kraft, Nestle, and Nabisco putting highly processed, high-glycemic-load foods on the market that contribute to every health problem we see today, from heart disease to dementia. The poor nutritional value of our food is further complicated by the extraordinary amounts of toxic chemicals that have entered our food supply and our bodies." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Now that corporate food giants such as Dole, General Mills, kraft, and ConAgra have gotten into the "organic" game, they have, as part of an industry-wide group, lobbied hard to change the rules about what it means to be "organic." If they win at getting synthetic chemicals like ripening agents and thickeners added to the list of allowable ingredients, or even genetic engineering to pass muster, then "organic" will move further and further away from "pure." In 1996, the two houses of Congress unanimously enacted the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA)." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Technically, this kind of feeding counts as a family dinner in the survey results, though it's hard to believe it performs all the customary functions of a shared meal. kraft or General Mills, for instance, is now determining the portion sizes, not mom, and the social value of sharing food is lost. It looks a lot more like a restaurant meal, where everyone orders his or her own dish. (Though the service isn't quite as good, because the entrees don't arrive at the same time." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Bleaching kraft pulp presented a particularly tough technical challenge: powdered chlorine bleach was not up to the test; it was simply too weak to bleach the pulp effectively. There was a remedy for this problem, albeit a dangerous one. Chlorine gas, even though it had proved too potent and too unpredictable for textile fabric bleaching, had the very strengrh needed to bleach kraft process wood pulp paper. Thus pure chlorine gas, all but abandoned for use as an industrial bleaching agent fifty years earlier, was rapidly reintroduced into commerce." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.) "Then, in 1884, a German chemist introduced an important innovation in pulp paper manufacturing that came to be called the kraft process. This process substituted sodium sulfate for soda ash. This technical advance allowed pulp paper to be made from a greater variety of poorer-quality, lower-cost trees, thus dramatically increasing profitability. So advantageous in its expansion of the menu of cheap raw materials, the new technology of kraft pulp paper brought with it a serious disadvantage, too." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Everyone has their preference, and the texture I like is 'crispy'" Another farmer I spoke to referred to industrial peaches as "plastic kraft dinner fruit created by dead brains." Perhaps the crunchers believe the only alternative is mushy, insipid peaches. But peaches exist that are light-years better than anything we're being sold. Some growers refer to these as "chiropractic fruits," because they're so juicy you need to bend over when eating them. But maybe you'll like crispy best too. As a new peach campaign asks: "Are you a Cruncher, Leaner, or In-betweener?" - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "The ingredient lists on these foods can be unsettling: Kraft's guacamole contains less than 2 percent avocado. Quaker's "Peaches & Cream" oatmeal contains dyed, desiccated apple flakes instead of peaches. Some blueberry waffles are actually blue apple waffles. Watermelon Fruit Roll-Ups contain pears, but no watermelon. Some mass-produced fruitcakes are made with turnip.) The reason there's little or no fresh fruit in convenience stores is simple: they aren't profitable enough. As one small greengrocer told me, "The big stores hate produce. They'd get rid of it in thirty seconds if they could." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Several months after this ruling, the industry's Organic Trade Association, together with newly emerging "organic" industry groups including Whole Foods, Wild Oats, kraft, and General Mills, mounted a powerful opposition to certified organic standards. The industry introduced a "Sneak Attack" into Congressional legislation on the 2006 Agricultural Appropriations Bill that would have authorized the USDA National Organic Standards Board to allow the inclusion of numerous synthetic ingredients in products claimed to be certified organic." - Samuel S.

"The head of this last organization, whose members include the Coca Cola Company, PepsiCo, kraft Foods, Cadbury Schweppes, the Snack Food Association, the American Beverage Association (formerly the National Soft Drink Association), and the Sugar Association, reportedly once stated that soda-and-candy-filled vending machines in schools don't play a role in the obesity crisis. "You can take every vending machine out of schools, and I don't believe you'd touch the obesity issue in children," Dr." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"Parallels between general system thinking and the one God hypothesis are described in detail in Richard Kraft's 1983, A Reason for Hope: A Synthesis of Teilhard de Chardin's Vision and Systems Thinking. However, let's be concrete here. In practical terms: ?Whereas reductionistic science assumes that things are independent, general systems science assumes that things are interdependent and hence integrative. ?Whereas reductionistic science assumes that things are disconnected, general systems science assumes that things are interconnected to various degrees. ?" - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"Certainly, other large agricultural companies such as kraft and General Mills have made significant investments in organic food production, which is the ultimate form of carbon-neutral agriculture. Archer Daniels Midland dominates the ethanol market. CargilPs Web site doesn't mention organic agriculture; however, it does discuss the company's current investments in genetically modified agricultural crops. This was disappointing. Yet, here in Blair, Nebraska, the company was actually doing something profoundly important for the environment?" - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Agricultural Commissioner kraft and his helpers came out. They were going around sniffing and deemed everything safe. No detection devices or monitoring devices were brought out. The health officials probably figured the hosing down of the people completed their duty. But hosing down does not get rid of metam sodium. It goes in your lungs, skin, eyes, and under your fingernails. It permeates the body like the body-ready gas it is, slipping into your lungs and blood. It won't just rinse off. In fact some said the hosing aggravated the poisoning." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Look, for example, at a collection of research papers sponsored by the National Dairy Council, kraft Foods, the Whey Protein Institute, and the U.S. Dairy Export Council. Its editors, all either employed by or receiving research funds from one or another of the sponsors, explain that milk is no mere food: "milk is an integrated food system of structure-specific proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates that confer physiological benefits beyond the content of essential vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "In 2004, kraft, like PepsiCo, announced that it would remove the trans fats from its snack foods and late that year I bought a package of trans fat-free, reduced-fat Oreos. These had 1.5 grams of fat per cookie, half the amount in the regular cookies, and one-half gram less of saturated fat. The package said "reduced fat, no trans fat," which made them sound like diet cookies, but I checked the calories. Regular Oreos have 53 calories each; these have 50 calories, a difference that can hardly be measured." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Or on occasion you can choose some of the mainstream frozen entrees, such as those from Healthy Choice, Weight Watchers, Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Selections, Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Spa, South Beach Diet Entrees from kraft, Michelina's Advantage, and Michelina's Lifestyle. Tip #2 Having healthy frozen meats available to bake or grill is an easy way to get your protein. Some ideas include: salmon fillets; Atlantic cod; vegetarian patties; extra lean beef, turkey, chicken, or tuna; lemon-herb chicken breast; and chicken skewers." - Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.)

"The extent to which Kraft's political and business strategy is governed by Philip Morris and how kraft responds to the obesity crisis will be important to follow. Cloaked Connections in Trade Organizations. Food and tobacco money are intertwined in organizations that fight for wholesome-sounding causes. One example is the Center for Consumer Freedom (discussed in detail below). This group, reportedly started with tobacco money, is now a coalition of restaurant and tavern owners." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.)

"The National Dairy Council,20-22 kraft Foods, Inc.,20 the Northeast Dairy Foods Research Center,20 21 the Cattlemen's Beef Board23 and the Cattlemen's Beef Association23 are groups that have frequently funded these studies. Corporate influence in the academic research world can take many forms, ranging from flagrant abuses of personal power to conflicts of interest, all hidden from public view. This influence does not need to be a crass payoff to researchers to fabricate data. That sort of behavior is rare." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"Major program areas include: Fluid Milk: In addition to key ongoing activities in advertising, promotion and public relations efforts targeted to children ages six to twelve and their mothers, 2003 dairy checkoff efforts will focus on developing and extending partnerships with major food marketers, including Kellogg's®, kraft foods® and McDonald's®____ ...

"Joseph kraft reported in 1975, G-ITT tests were conducted on 3,650 patients suspected of having diabetes.5 Surprisingly, when only the glucose data were considered, 1,713 of these patients were found to be normal. However, when both the glucose and insulin data were considered for these same subjects, 60 percent of them were found to have abnormal insulin secretion patterns consistent with what is now called insulin resistance. In cases that would now be considered prediabetic, borderline, or equivocal, the determination of insulin levels was also found to clearly indicate insulin resistance." - Michael T.

"One woman who was made to take off her clothes in front of her children asked kraft and the rest of them, "Do you know how that makes me feel?" There, for the first time, Teresa heard all of these people's stories. It makes her angry even today to see how mistreated they are when she is an American citizen and a good person whose family works these fields and helps put food on people's tables. She sends her kids off to fight in the wars this country wages. She started trying to learn about this stuff.

"In spring 2005, soon after reading an Associated Press article revealing that new versions of popular kids' breakfast cereals aren't any lower in sugar than the old versions, Jennifer Hardee, a San Diego mother of two, sued kraft Foods Co., General Mills Cereals, LLC, and Kellogg USA Inc. Hardee's suit—which has since been settled—sought class action status on behalf of all duped California consumers who bought the new cereals." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"Nestle, Coke, Pepsi, Cadbury Schweppes, Hershey, kraft, ConAgra, ADM, Cargill, M&M/Mars, Tyson, Campbell's, etc.—there isn't a mainstream food company that isn't using high-fructose corn syrup," one source points out. "They're making a profit at the health expense of the consumer." Marketing of Sweets and Quickie-Carb Snacks Influences Our Buying Patterns Clearly, companies making soda, cookies, crackers, cereals, candies, donuts, and other sugary and quickie-carb foods are caught in an awkward predicament." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.
