Campbell's Soup VP Hot Mic "no soup for you" [View all]

Recently a Campbell's Soup senior Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer Martin Bally was caught on a hot mic recording his words for over an hour in which he says some pretty insane things:

Bally is heard saying, "We have s**t for f***king poor people. Who buys our s**t? 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."


He also says some pretty racist stuff about Indians that I will not repeat here.

All in all its pretty disgusting.
This was brought to light by company whistle blower Robert Garza, a former security analyst with the company that was fired after he reported the incident and Mr. Garza is now suing Campbell's for wrongful termination.
