Silk brand is made in the USA. Earth’s own is Canadian.

    Silk is also a brand of the dairy producer Danone. Earth’s Own does not use cruelty and violence to commit atrocity.

    It’s everywhere actually. US garbage fake food products are getting placed closest to the floor in grocery stores. Getting turned upside down. Everyone is chatty to one another in stores warning to not buy American anything. It’s so much morenwidespread than a few photos on the internet.

    Are there any official numbers out yet about how well these protests are going? It’s easy to feel like change is happening when you are surrounded by like-minded people. As a USian I have been absolutely shocked by how much apathy and inaction I am surrounded by because “it doesn’t affect me personally”.

      Apathy is a defining characteristic of an American. I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of people where I live absolutely will not purchase a single American good. All the grocery stores are pulling American food off the shelves. The ones that stay on have warning labels near them that they come from the US.

      The Canadian products are very well labelled. They’ve changed how they stock items to hide the American goods (if there are any left). I haven’t seen this much change since COVID but even our lunatics are against America (save for our very special 15% or so of the population who aren’t fully conscious).

      You will be made to feel pain and it won’t stop after any tariffs are lifted (if they ever get lifted). America and American is a dirty word now even to apolitical everyday Canadians. Y’all have probably permanently lost an ally/acquaintance. Keep up the good work!

      Friends who work in retail are constantly getting asked the origin of products now, seems like it’s actually wide spread

      I’m certain of one thing, American media is going to downplay and try to hide as much of this as they can from the citizens to pretend everything is perfectly fine, they aren’t going to publish any stats on this or else face the wrath of the Fourth Reich. The average American doesn’t pay attention to what’s going on in the world or politics or anything like that, so this is going to hit like a tidal wave. I’m sadly seeing the same as you, but it hasn’t surprised me, ever since 2016 I’ve come to know that humans have no maximum capacity for ignorance, greed, or hatred.

    Malicious compliance. Someone probably said they can’t remove the product due to some kind of contract, I’m assuming.

      That contract would also have display requirements that wouldn’t allow this. Often reps from these companies come in to the stores and do their own product management on the shelves, turning and presenting them attractively to the consumer. You can sometimes see someone in a branded outfit who doesn’t work for the store messing with the stock.

    Fuck Silk. I bought two boxes, then the next day it turns out they were contaminated with listeria. Earth’s Own is good enough.

      Be honest that while I’d still buy earth’s own if it wasn’t as good, I don’t find that at all, personally I like it better, their barista stuff is great too (but I totally just use the plain stuff most of the time)

      I mean, if you subscribe to the food recalls email list you’ll realize that you’re missing tons of recalls that happen every day for products that come from all over the place…

    Why is the selection of the earths own products so terrible in Loblaws stores?

    They have many different products and very frequently their soy milk is not stocked.

    See this image- looks like all oat milk.

      A lot of it tends to be in the organic section - there are usually a few flavour variations of oat, almond, and soy. However, I usually find a bigger selection at Metro
