Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.

Right now, here’s the rules:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

Here are the current tags:

It's Welch's though which actually tastes good and IIRC is owned by a growers collective not a megacorp.

Found this

National Grape Cooperative Association, a co-op of grape growers, since 1956

Is that good? I'm weary of what's behind good news of a major business.

Just means it’s owned by the farmers

Though at their size, the farmers could be people that just own the farms and use farmhands for all the work

At some point, any business venture big enough to operate at commercial scale will see those with ownership drift towards management roles, since the owner is initially the only person with the authority to make a lot of those choices.
If it's a family farm, at some point it's likely that someone realizes that inheriting a farm gives you a leg up at operating a farm, but that you can still probably hire someone to run the farming business better than you.

If it's family owned, they're still less likely to raise to the level of ick that some of the big farm corporations can raise to, so it's still likely better.

Good company can still do marketing and make silly products.
