Trader Joe's says SCREW YOU to the PC Pussy Cats

I doubt it was my hilariously brilliant blog post of July 21st that had anything to do with it but...

TRADER JOE'S decided NOT to cave in to a thousand wussy morons in Oregon with too much time on their soft little hands.

DAMN right. There was nothing wrong with Trade Joe paying some respect by naming their Italian import products "Trader Giotto." Using the Italian word for Joseph was intended as RESPECT. So was importing actual Italian products from ITALY instead of fobbing off mass-produced junk pasta and crap-sauce on people. Too often the products we buy with homey-sounding names are coming from huge factories that bought the name and kept nothing else, not even the original recipes.

Who DOES own Ronzoni and Buitoni and Ragu these days? And who ever, EVER thought Chef Boyardee was authentic? If you want to know, the guy's name was Hector Boiardi and he was an Italian immigrant who sold out to American Home Foods way back in 1946. The company is currently owned by the Chicago outfit Conagra Brands, Inc.

Are Ronzoni products imported from Italy the way so many Trader Giotto items are? That company is owned by Riviana Foods Inc of Texas. Buitoni is now owned by Nestlé the same evil company that wants to buy up American springs and construct factories to siphon all the water and bottle it. They own Poland Springs, among others.

Ragú is run in America by the un-Italian-sounding Mizkan, and by Symington's in England and Ireland. Let's just say that Trader Joe's doesn't have THIS kind of question asked:

I haven't noticed any Italians sulking, rioting or looting because Trade Joe's sold "Trader Giotto" products. No, it was a bunch of wussy idiots with a petition. Italians haven't taken a knee over the outrages being sold by Ragu or the lack of "real Italians" making pizza at Dominos or 7-11.

Thankfully, Trader Joe's took a step back, realized it was a small, goose-farting bunch of bird-brains causing all the trouble, and that their vast millions of patrons are FINE with the way the place is run. No joining the goose-step of political correctness based on limp-wristed whimsy or the snivels and trembles of Social Justice Warriors who don't know what it's like to really be in a fight.

People only WISH there was a Trader Joe's nearby, and if their wish was granted, that it wouldn't have such long lines and be so fucking crowded!
