Campbell’s Soup VP mocks ‘poor people’ who buy its food in secret recording (www.newsweek.com)

Food for thought

According to the lawsuit and interviews Garza gave to local media, the claims stem from a recorded meeting between Garza and Campbell’s Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer Martin Bally. Garza, who began working remotely for the company in September 2024, said he met Bally at a restaurant in late 2024 believing they would be discussing his salary.

Instead, Garza alleges the executive delivered an hourlong tirade criticizing the company’s products, disparaging employees and customers, and making racially offensive remarks about Indian colleagues.

Local 4 News in Detroit broadcast portions of the recording. In it, a speaker identified as Bally is heard saying, "We have st for fking poor people. Who buys our st? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f*‘s in it."

He also referenced "bioengineered meat," saying, "I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer."

The recording, which lasted longer than an hour and 15 minutes, included what Garza said was a "disgusting" rant alleged to be made by Bally about his coworkers: "Fing Indians don’t know a fing thing," and "Like they couldn’t think for their f***ing selves," it said in part.

The recording also allegedly captured Bally admitting he came to work after consuming marijuana edibles.

Well good to know never to buy Campbell's.

I'm willing to bet it's not as bad as this guy thinks, bit still, of they won't eat their own food I won't.

Currently what I do is buy a Costco rotisserie chicken, pull it apart for lunches, then I make broth from the carcass.

Brown the bones

  1. Heat oven to 400f
  2. Place bones on a pan. I put them on parchment.
  3. Put them in for 20 mins
  4. Remove them, sprinkle some flour on them, shuffle them around
  5. 10 more minutes in the oven

Make stock

  1. In a soup pot saute an onion and some vegetables. Optikbslly add some tomato paste. I usually do 1-2 carrots and whatever veggies are on hand.
  2. Add the bones
  3. Fill with cold water to just above the bones
  4. Bring to a simmer/boil. Boil for 1-3 hours
  5. Strain your stock.

It's actually easier than it sounds.

Plus, you can save onion skins/bottoms, carrot peelings, etc. and toss them in the pot. They're not icky, they'll get stained out.

I buy ramen noodles and 4 meals of ramen with the broth, or make a stew that can do 6 or more meals.

Per ounce it's probably comparable to a can, but it does require the luxury of time and an oven.

I'm not trying to snap at you but have you actually eaten Campbell's soup recently? It's ungodly my friend, it's just absolutely revolting. I have suffered food scarcity, and I am not exaggerating when I tell you I won't even accept Campbell's soup for free. It's beyond nasty.

Also good tip on making your own broth, I do it with vegetable trimmings, and I can't eat chicken but I will save beef bones, steak bones.

And I'm lazy, I never felt the need to roast, I just throw it in a pot and then skim the oil off after a fridge sit! So it can be a couple levels of lazy and still be able to eat well! Usually I'll just portion it out into to the freezer and then cook with it. Mmmm beefy.... It's nothing like the fake bullion and concentrates.

It’s basically MSG and food colouring.

And let's not forget tasty hydrolyzed something or other
