# buying cadbury
1000's of jobs in the UK lost
The raping and pillaging of Birmingham
cheese in our chocolate.

This is what the Daily Mail and b3ta have led me to believe.

# apparently
• Kraft Food is the leading US food company and the second biggest food multinational corporation worldwide.

• Kraft foods contain unlabeled GMOs and the company has fought to prevent the passing of labeling requirements.

• Kraft's coffees, including Maxwell House, are not Fair Trade.

• Trade unions in South Africa have called for a boycott of Kraft for refusing to recognize or negotiate with the Food and Allied Workers Union.

# Hmm That could be interesting
as Cadbury is huge in South Africa.

I doubt they would mess with the actual products but I'm sure as Creme Eggs is Creme Eggs that production will shift to the country that has the cheapest labour and there will be thousands of job losses in the UK.

# We don't yet
but the expected job losses across the various Cadbury factories may change that greatly
