Blanca Pacheco was so disappointed with Goya CEO Robert Unanues praise of President Donald Trump that she made a post on her Facebook feed, illustrated with Goya cans that feature some of the events, statements, and policies that have characterized Trumps anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Its Trumps blessed leadership that puts children in cages, insults our heritage, labels us as criminals, uses our tax contributions and diminishes our needs during a pandemic, the post read.

Unanue made the remarks during an event at the White House Rose Garden on July 9, when the president announced the launch of the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.
[W]ere all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder, Unanue said during the 30-minute outdoor event. And so we have an incredible builder, and we pray we pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and to grow, he continued in a statement, which included the announcement of millions of products in donations by the family-owned business to food banks throughout the U.S. during the pandemic.

His old photos showed how his teeth were collapsing in from the way he speaks with that clenched O mouth.
The more he spoke that way, the worse they got, plus they were discolored.
Perhaps he's afraid of the dentist, for a 'billionaire' to have such a fucked up grille. I think he fixed it in 2018.

(3,706 posts)Your decision need only satisfy you.
If money is tight, eat and buy no more.
If you have the resources, pass the Goya on to those with less.
If you are flush, pack it all up and ship it back to Goya headquarters with a note that you can not trust this food not to be poisoned as are the Goya CEO's ethics.
