Man, this is crazy.

I mean on one hand, much respect for getting a class action against a large company for $6.

On the other, it is a good thing ecologically that the brand isn’t creating a giant carbon footprint.

I’m still confused how “Italy’s #1 brand” is made in Iowa, but maybe it’s like beers where even the international brands are brewed by more local brewers (I believe Molson makes Sapporo for the USA and Cañada), so there is also Barlilla pasta in Italy, they just don’t ship it to the USA.

I’m still reeling from the new-found knowledge that baby food isn’t made from babies. I wonder if I can start a class action suit?
