Additional Information | Starting in 1994 the INFACT Corporate Accountability organization formed a protest of Kraft Foods, due to its connection with Philip Morris Tobacco Company. The purpose of the boycott was to educate consumers of the way Philip Morris was using advertisements which would appeal to younger people, encouraging them to start smoking, while also selling the popular Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner to families. The boycott was held for nine years; a Harris Interactive poll from 2001 indicated that 16% of respondents to their survey had boycotted the products over the previous year. |
