Mars has been criticised in the past for the Unethical treatment of animals, using Child labour and slave labour and Deforestation in African national parks.

Whilst over the years I am quite sure there factories spewed out lots of things in to the environment.

However they now have the nerve to preach to the rest of us.

What’s wrong with diversity and inclusion? We all know that M&Ms are a lot more fun for the very reason that they are not all the same color, and they all get along well as friends.

M&Ms are a metaphor for life as it should be.

Honestly.....this is the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time.

Okay, first off let me just say that I believe that I am generally a fairly sane individual. I mean sure, I know we all have our little quirks which make us unique (slightly crazy) but for the most part my marbles remain in a nice neat pile in my head. And for some reason, just reading this story makes me feel as if I'm listening to someone drag nails across a chalkboard.

How on earth did we, as a society, get to this point? Have we truly reached a point in our lives where stuff like this is worthy of our attention? Does this not strike the rest of you as utter insanity on the part of Mars, Incorporated? And if it does seem as insane to you as it does to me, then you must also realize this insane response to a non-existent problem was brought on by a group of even more insane people who actually had a problem with cartoon candy people!!!!!

What the hell is going on!!!! How can we ever fix any of our very real problems in this country when people are focusing their attention on ridiculous issues like this? M&M's are candy people. That's all they will ever be. And if you are actually crazy enough to let the shoes a cartoon candy character is wearing bother you, then you should absolutely seek professional help.

PS. I'm sorry for the rant. But I truly can not express just how sick I am of seeing stories like this. We have so many real problems in the world. It just makes me sick to think people are wasting their time on ridiculous issues like these.
I love M&Ms. Nothing out there better. But I'll never buy them again. They're on the list with Uncles Ben, Aunt Jemima, etc.

Sugar is poison.
Diabetes makes one susceptible to greater Covid risk.
Therefore Biden ought to mandate the ceasing of M&Ms to protect the public right away.

Right Joe?

No one will notice any of this, it's just mental masturbation for the woke crowd.
