Reply #4: Although I feel bad for the employees affected

[Nikia]

Kraft really isn't the best company to their employees nor do they make the best products. They profit from their name recognition and past reputation. Sure they have good HACCP plans and minimum quality standards, but in the name of profit they have cheapened their products to the detriment of quality. They didn't have to close those plants, lay off people, or make some other cost saving decisions to continue to make money. They just wanted to make more money and hell with everything else.
I encourage DUers to try other brands from smaller American companies who aren't going to outsource at all and who won't be closing plants until they can no longer stay in business. You might be suprised to find that some of it is actually better than Kraft.
