Greenwashing gives canned-food cabal black eye
A canned-food industry cabal met secretly last week in an attempt to greenwash questions about a chemical used to line food and drink packages. But reporters at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel got a hold of a memo on the meeting and instead gave the industry a black eye.
I’m not sure which is more embarrassing: the stupidity of getting caught, or being exposed for holding such a cynical, devious meeting. Richard Wiles of Environmental Working Group told reporters Susanne Rust and Meg Kissinger :
“I mean, it seems over the top, even by industry. I’m amazed in this day and age they’d write this stuff down.”
