Campbell’s (NASDAQ: CPB) stock crashed more than 3% on Monday, November 24, after a former employee alleged in a lawsuit that the vice president and chief information security officer, Martin Bally, was mocking “poor people,” ridiculing the company’s products, and making racist comments about colleagues.

The accusations center on an audio recording that allegedly contains proof not only of a hostile work environment but also the firing of the whistleblower who reported the incident. Moreover, the executive’s comments on “bioengineered meat that came from a 3-D printer” have also sparked a lot of controversy among environmentally conscious investors.

    It’s probably reconstituted meat, but because he’s probably just some moron with an MBA, he doesn’t actually know what that means. He’s also a fucking moron for not realizing poor people don’t buy Campbells because it’s shit and twice the price of store brand soups. Their market is just middle class people who want to keep up appearances.

      Or, people like me who grew up on it and buy it because it’s something we always had in the house.

      It’s also good as an ingredient in other recipes.

      Yeah, that’s what I figured he meant too. I mean it’s sorta 3d printed, and definitely gross, so points to him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
