I am glad Anna Adams with Mars, Inc. listed the products Mars, Inc. produces and sells, it makes it easier to not buy their product. Anna Adams should have been concerned with free speach and not with taking free speach away. There is a tendency of manufacturers running away from a conflict, especially a vocal minority who is intending to eliminate all free speach, which the left does not want to hear. Welcome to DEMOCRACY!……at least for right now. I had a few of these items in my pantry…..they are in the trash.
