But that&rsquo;s not really a reality for many.<\/p>\n<p>(And there&rsquo;s really no need to even broach his apparent disdain for Indians.)<\/p>\n<p>But as bad as Bally comes off, this shouldn&rsquo;t exactly absolve Campbell&rsquo;s, even if their angry executive&rsquo;s complaints are bunk.<\/p>\n<p>Bioengineered meat is still a while off from being mass produced, so this quibble isn&rsquo;t about that.<\/p>\n<p>But one cannot deny that American food brands becoming synonymous with ultra-processed foods is an objectively bad thing. The amount of sodium in Campbell&rsquo;s soups would make a salt lick blush.<\/p>\n<p>In their tiny 10.75 oz can of chicken noodle soup, there&rsquo;s a whopping 890 mg of sodium. Salt, the oldest preservative known to man, is often pumped into these iconic brands so they can extend shelf life, consequences to consumer health be damned.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and those 890 mg of sodium? That&rsquo;s for just one serving. There are 2.5 servings in that can, which means one of those little cans contains an unfathomable 2,225 mg of sodium.<\/p>\n<p>That is not okay &mdash; with or without the inclusion of bioengineered meat.<\/p>\n<p>One last note about Campbell&rsquo;s: They fired Garza when he reached out to his supervisor to blow the whistle.<\/p>\n<p>And that &mdash; more so than mystery meat or levels of salt that would make the Dead Sea jealous &mdash; is perhaps the biggest issue with Campbell&rsquo;s: They&rsquo;re clearly a corporate conglomerate that cares far more about its bottom line than the well-being of its employees and customers.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
